The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and kits for processing nucleic acid molecules. A method may comprise providing a template nucleic acid fragment (e.g., within a cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus) within a partition (e.g., a droplet or well) and subjecting the template nucleic acid fragment to one or more processes including a barcoding process and a single primer extension or amplification process. The processed template nucleic acid fragment may then be recovered from the partition and subjected to further amplification to provide material for subsequent sequencing analysis. The methods provided herein may permit simultaneous processing and analysis of both DNA and RNA molecules originating from the same cell, cell bead, or cell nucleus.

The present disclosure provides methods of processing or analyzing a sample. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing a probe molecule to a target region of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule), barcoding the probe-nucleic acid molecule complex, and performing extension, denaturation, and amplification processes. A method for processing a sample may comprise hybridizing first and second probes to adjacent or non-adjacent target regions of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., an RNA molecule), linking the first and second probes to provide a probe-linked nucleic acid molecule, and barcoding the probe-linked nucleic acid molecule. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed within a partition, such as a droplet or well. One or more processes of the methods described herein may be performed on a cell, such as a permeabilized cell.

A modified peptide or a modified polypeptide has the amino acid sequence of Thr-Val-Asp-Ser-Cys-Leu-Thr (SEQ ID NO: 1) and adhesiveness to a norbornene-based polymer. A ratio of the total number of amino acids constituting the modified peptide or the modified polypeptide to the number of oligopeptides consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 contained in the modified peptide or the modified polypeptide is 7 or more and 80 or less. The number of oligopeptides consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 is 1.

Provided is a method for efficiently searching a peptide library for an oligopeptide that can be bound to the end of a protein or peptide of interest. Further, provided is an efficient and highly safe immunoassay.
