Provided are high throughput methods for physically linking cDNA molecules derived from mRNA molecules expressed by the same cell, and libraries of linked cDNA molecules produced by the methods. The methods comprise reverse transcribing mRNA from a single cell in a first container to produce cDNA molecules, and linking the cDNA molecules in a second container. The methods unexpectedly produced libraries of cDNA molecules with an increase in the number of molecules that are correctly linked to other molecules derived from the same cell.

The present invention relates to novel antibody frameworks with advantageous properties.

This invention provides ultra-sensitive methods and compositions for detecting patient-specific mutations from cell free nucleic acids (cfDNA) without sequencing. Methods of the invention make use of fluidic partitions for multiplex amplification of cfDNA and thereby create a library of uniformly amplified amplicons. The uniformly amplified amplicons can be split into any number of different detection reactions (while maintaining detection sensitivity) for single-plex detection of mutations present in cfDNA. These methods provide substantially improved signal to noise ratio and easier discrimination of low-abundance mutations.

The present invention is directed to the probes for detecting known and unknown fusion genes, related methods of detection of fusion genes, uses and kits related thereto. In particular, the invention relates to methods of diagnosing and monitoring of a cancer.

This invention relates to compositions of matter, methods, modules and automated, end-to-end closed instruments for automated mammalian cell growth, reagent bundle creation and mammalian cell transfection followed by nucleic acid-guided nuclease editing in live mammalian cells. The disclosed compositions and method entail making “reagent bundles” comprising many (hundreds of thousands to millions) clonal copies of an editing cassette and delivering or co-localizing the reagent bundles with live mammalian cells such that the editing cassettes edit the cells and the edited cells continue to grow.

This application provides a bead with a covalently attached chemical compound and a covalently attached DNA barcode and methods for using such beads. The bead has many substantially identical copies of the chemical compound and many substantially identical copies of the DNA barcode. The compound consists of one or more chemical monomers, where the DNA barcode takes the form of barcode modules, where each module corresponds to and allows identification of a corresponding chemical monomer. The nucleic acid barcode can have a concatenated structure or an orthogonal structure. Provided are method for sequencing the bead-bound nucleic acid barcode, for cleaving the compound from the bead, and for assessing biological activity of the released compound.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for identifying genomic variants. Further provided herein are standards useful for determining the analytical sensitivity and/or accuracy of instruments configured to measure nucleic acid variant frequencies.
