The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of RNA analysis. In particular, the present disclosure provides a method of RNA analysis that includes obtaining a sample, applying one or more multi-partite probes to the sample, where each of the one or more multi-partite probes includes at least two sub-probes, annealing at least one of the applied one or more multi-partite probes to at least one target nucleic acid within the sample, and ligating the at least two sub-probes associated with the at least one annealed multi-partite probe to create a target nucleic acid proxy that can be detected.

Methods for enhancing specificity of an analyte binding moiety or probe oligonucleotide to an analyte are provided herein. For example, methods provided herein include blocking a capture binding domain, thereby preventing hybridization to the capture domain of the capture probe affixed to a substrate. Further methods include releasing the block from the capture binding domain, thereby allowing the capture binding domain to specifically bind to the capture domain of the capture probe on the substrate.

Embodiments of the disclosure encompass highly sensitive and quantitative methods for single-cell sequencing of total RNA. In particular cases, methods utilize annealing of multiple primers to RNA, polytailing of single stranded DNA reverse transcribed therefrom, and utilization of bar codes in primers for amplification of amplicons produced from second strand synthesis.

The present disclosure relates to a laboratory execution system that provides for automation of laboratory processes. A centralized data management system may be dynamically updated and used to facilitate management of components of the laboratory execution system, such as an automation system and an analytics results management system that may facilitate complex analytical functions, such as synthesizing raw test data. Potential workflows include the detection of specific molecules of interest.
