Provided herein are automated apparatus for the identification of microorganisms in various samples. The disclosure solves existing challenges encountered in identifying and distinguishing various types of microorganisms, including viruses and bacteria in a timely, efficient, and automated manner by sequencing.

The present disclosure provides, among other things, a way to amplify and sequence target sequences in a low-input sample. In some embodiments, the method comprises ligating a double-stranded adaptor onto a population of fragments to produce tagged fragments, and linearly amplifying the tagged fragments.

A water-soluble prolamin composition, such as a zein composition, and methods for producing the same. A method for tagging items comprising applying a plurality of non-coding DNA tags in a prolamin composition, such as a zein composition, wherein the selection of the particular taggants corresponds with a binary or nonbinary code sequence containing information about the tagged items.

This disclosure provides methods and compositions for sample processing, particularly for sequencing applications. Included within this disclosure are bead compositions, such as diverse libraries of beads attached to large numbers of oligonucleotides containing barcodes. Often, the beads provides herein are degradable. For example, they may contain disulfide bonds that are susceptible to reducing agents. The methods provided herein include methods of making libraries of barcoded beads as well as methods of combining the beads with a sample, such as by using a microfluidic device.

The present invention relates to methods for producing encoded chemical entities. In particular, the oligonucleotides and methods can include encoded chemical entities having wild-type linkages formed through chemical ligation techniques. One strategy that can be utilized that simultaneously takes advantage of chemical ligation as a means to encode chemical history, while also retaining the ability of polymerases to directly recover tag sequence and association information, is to perform chemical ligation in a manner that generates wildtype phosphodiester linkages. Such methods generally utilize condensing agents such as cyanogen bromide or similar along with 5′-phosphate and 3′-hydroxyl oligonucleotides in a double-stranded or templated context. Similarly cyanogen bromide has also been shown to chemically ligate pairs of substrate oligonucleotides that are 5′-hydroxyl and 3′-phosphate. However, these methods suffer from poor efficiency making them ill-suited for use in an iterative process such as tagging DNA-en-coded libraries.
