US Patent 11932899 Methods and systems for characterizing nucleic acid molecules

Provided herein are methods and systems for characterizing a nucleic acid molecule from a single cell. A method for characterizing a nucleic acid molecule from a single cell may comprise providing a partition (e.g., droplets or wells) comprising a single cell and a single bead. The single bead may comprise a nucleic acid barcode molecule. A nucleic acid molecule from the single cell and the nucleic acid barcode molecule may be used to generate a barcoded nucleic acid molecule for sequencing, which may be used to determine an epigenetic state or characteristic of the nucleic acid molecule as being associated with the single cell.
