Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for methods of assigning sequencing data to partitions. There are provided, in some embodiments, methods of associating sequencing data and phenotypic data of single cells. There are provided, in some embodiments, methods of reducing noise in sequencing data. Disclosed herein include partition indexing oligonucleotides comprising a partition indexing sequence. The partition indexing oligonucleotides can be associated with partitions. Partition indexing oligonucleotides situated within the same partition can comprise the same partition indexing sequence. Partition indexing oligonucleotides situated within different partitions comprise different partition indexing sequences.

The present disclosure provides methods, kits and compositions for identifying nucleic acid agents having a desired property, e.g., a property of specifically binding to a target (such as a protein target) with high affinity. More specifically, the present disclosure provides methods, kits and compositions for identifying candidate nucleic acid agents with both high specificity and affinity for a target.

The present disclosure relates to a closed loop aptamer development system that identifies one or more aptamers observed experimentally and implements machine-learning models to identify other aptamers not observed experimentally. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to receiving a query concerning one or more targets, acquiring a library of aptamers that potential satisfy the query, identifying a first set of aptamers from the library of aptamers that substantially or completely satisfy the query, obtaining sequence data for the first set of aptamers, generating, by a prediction model, a third set of aptamers derived from the sequence data for the first set of aptamers, validating the third set of aptamers that substantially or completely satisfy the query, and upon validating the third set of aptamers and in response to the query, providing the third set of aptamers as a result to the query.

Embodiments of the invention provide magnetic capture bead mediated methods of molecular barcoding nucleic acid targets of a particle, such as a cell or extracellular vesicle. Aspects of the methods include: a) combining a sample comprising the particle with a magnetic capture bead comprising a capture moiety for the particle to produce a captured sample; b) partitioning captured particles of the captured sample using an applied magnetic field mediated partitioning protocol to produce partitioned captured particles, wherein the partitioned captured particles are in spatial proximity to bead bound barcode nucleic acids comprising target binding regions; and c) lysing the partitioned captured particles so that nucleic acid acids released therefrom bind to the target binding regions to produce captured nucleic acids. Also provided are compositions, e.g., magnetic capture beads, including barcoded magnetic beads, as well as device/systems and kits, that find use in practicing embodiments of the methods.

An example of a kit includes a flow cell and a genotyping probe fluid. The flow cell includes a substrate, and first and second capture primers attached to the substrate. The genotyping probe fluid includes a liquid carrier, and a genotyping oligonucleotide in the liquid carrier. The genotyping oligonucleotide includes a first primer sequence; a probe sequence that is representative of a target genotyping locus; a restriction endonuclease site; and a second primer sequence that is at least partially complementary to the second capture primer.
