Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. Pat. Application No. 17/152,276, filed Jan. 19, 2021, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Pat. Application No. 62/964,055, filed Jan. 21, 2020. The contents of each priority document are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- Cells within a tissue of a subject have differences in cell morphology and/or function due to varied analyte levels (e.g., gene and/or protein expression) within the different cells. The specific position of a cell within a tissue (e.g., the cell’s position relative to neighboring cells or the cell’s position relative to the tissue microenvironment) can affect, e.g., the cell’s morphology, differentiation, fate, viability, proliferation, behavior, and signaling and cross-talk with other cells in the tissue.
- Spatial heterogeneity has been previously studied using techniques that only provide data for a small handful of analytes in the contact of an intact tissue or a portion of a tissue, or provide a lot of analyte data for single cells, but fail to provide information regarding the position of the single cell in a parent biological sample (e.g., tissue sample).
- Genetic material, and related gene and protein expression, influences cellular fate and behavior. Analysis on a single cell-level will allow insights into individual cell genotype and function. Others have identified methods of single cell isolation while maintaining viability. See, e.g., Zhang et al., PNAS, 2014 111 (8) 2948-2953; Marzo et al., Nature Communications, 6, 8661 (2015); Laurell et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2007,36, 492-506; and Ding et al., PNAS, 2012 109 (28) 11105-11109; each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIG. 7 shows an exemplary workflow for determining a location of an analyte in a cell. - Disclosed herein are methods and compositions predicated on the identification of methods of determining analyte expression in a single cell. The methods disclosed herein include isolating single cell populations onto an array comprising a plurality of capture probes. The ability of printing single-cell arrays with high precision and efficiency, single-cell resolution, multiple cell types, and maintenance of cell viability and function can be used to study cell function and even population heterogeneity. Here, this type of single cell isolation is combined with spatial analysis techniques in order to determine abundance of one or more analytes in a single cell. The combined methods, which include imaging of a cell, allow for analysis of the correlation between phenotype and genotype in a cell; it addresses issues such as relating cell viability and sequencing data quality; doublet detection, and debris discard.
- Spatial analysis methodologies and compositions described herein can provide a vast amount of analyte and/or expression data for a variety of analytes within a biological sample at high spatial resolution, while retaining native spatial context. Spatial analysis methods and compositions can include, e.g., the use of a capture probe including a spatial barcode (e.g., a nucleic acid sequence that provides information as to the location or position of an analyte within a cell or a tissue sample (e.g., mammalian cell or a mammalian tissue sample) and a capture domain that is capable of binding to an analyte (e.g., a protein and/or a nucleic acid) produced by and/or present in a cell. Spatial analysis methods and compositions can also include the use of a capture probe having a capture domain that captures an intermediate agent for indirect detection of an analyte. For example, the intermediate agent can include a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a barcode) associated with the intermediate agent. Detection of the intermediate agent is therefore indicative of the analyte in the cell or tissue sample.

- Some general terminology that may be used in this disclosure can be found in Section (I)(b) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. Typically, a “barcode” is a label, or identifier, that conveys or is capable of conveying information (e.g., information about an analyte in a sample, a bead, and/or a capture probe). A barcode can be part of an analyte, or independent of an analyte. A barcode can be attached to an analyte. A particular barcode can be unique relative to other barcodes. For the purpose of this disclosure, an “analyte” can include any biological substance, structure, moiety, or component to be analyzed. The term “target” can similarly refer to an analyte of interest.
- Analytes can be broadly classified into one of two groups: nucleic acid analytes, and non-nucleic acid analytes. Examples of non-nucleic acid analytes include, but are not limited to, lipids, carbohydrates, peptides, proteins, glycoproteins (N-linked or O-linked), lipoproteins, phosphoproteins, specific phosphorylated or acetylated variants of proteins, amidation variants of proteins, hydroxylation variants of proteins, methylation variants of proteins, ubiquitylation variants of proteins, sulfation variants of proteins, viral proteins (e.g., viral capsid, viral envelope, viral coat, viral accessory, viral glycoproteins, viral spike, etc.), extracellular and intracellular proteins, antibodies, and antigen binding fragments. In some embodiments, the analyte(s) can be localized to subcellular location(s), including, for example, organelles, e.g., mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, endocytic vesicles, exocytic vesicles, vacuoles, lysosomes, etc. In some embodiments, analyte(s) can be peptides or proteins, including without limitation antibodies and enzymes. Additional examples of analytes can be found in Section (I)(c) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. In some embodiments, an analyte can be detected indirectly, such as through detection of an intermediate agent, for example, a connected probe (e.g., a ligation product) or an analyte capture agent (e.g., an oligonucleotide-conjugated antibody), such as those described herein.
- A “biological sample” is typically obtained from the subject for analysis using any of a variety of techniques including, but not limited to, biopsy, surgery, and laser capture microscopy (LCM), and generally includes cells and/or other biological material from the subject. In some embodiments, a biological sample can be a tissue section. In some embodiments, a biological sample can be a fixed and/or stained biological sample (e.g., a fixed and/or stained tissue section). Non-limiting examples of stains include histological stains (e.g., hematoxylin and/or eosin) and immunological stains (e.g., fluorescent stains). In some embodiments, a biological sample (e.g., a fixed and/or stained biological sample) can be imaged. Biological samples are also described in Section (I)(d) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- In some embodiments, a biological sample is permeabilized with one or more permeabilization reagents. For example, permeabilization of a biological sample can facilitate analyte capture. Exemplary permeabilization agents and conditions are described in Section (I)(d)(ii)(13) or the Exemplary Embodiments Section of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- Array-based spatial analysis methods involve the transfer of one or more analytes from a biological sample to an array of features on a substrate, where each feature is associated with a unique spatial location on the array. Subsequent analysis of the transferred analytes includes determining the identity of the analytes and the spatial location of the analytes within the biological sample. The spatial location of an analyte within the biological sample is determined based on the feature to which the analyte is bound (e.g., directly or indirectly) on the array, and the feature’s relative spatial location within the array.
- A “capture probe” refers to any molecule capable of capturing (directly or indirectly) and/or labelling an analyte (e.g., an analyte of interest) in a biological sample. In some embodiments, the capture probe is a nucleic acid or a polypeptide. In some embodiments, the capture probe includes a barcode (e.g., a spatial barcode and/or a unique molecular identifier (UMI)) and a capture domain). In some embodiments, a capture probe can include a cleavage domain and/or a functional domain (e.g., a primer-binding site, such as for next-generation sequencing (NGS)).
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an exemplary capture probe, as described herein. As shown, thecapture probe 102 is optionally coupled to afeature 101 by acleavage domain 103, such as a disulfide linker.

Thefunctional sequence 104 can include all or a part of sequencer specific flow cell attachment sequence (e.g., a P5 or P7 sequence), all or a part of a sequencing primer sequence, (e.g., a R1 primer binding site, a R2 primer binding site), or combinations thereof. The capture probe can also include aspatial barcode 105. The capture probe can also include a unique molecular identifier (UMI)sequence 106. WhileFIG. 1 shows thespatial barcode 105 as being located upstream (5′) ofUMI sequence 106, it is to be understood that capture probes whereinUMI sequence 106 is located upstream (5′) of thespatial barcode 105 is also suitable for use in any of the methods described herein. The capture probe can also include acapture domain 107 to facilitate capture of a target analyte. The capture domain can have a sequence complementary to a sequence of a nucleic acid analyte. The capture domain can have a sequence complementary to a connected probe described herein. The capture domain can have a sequence complementary to a capture handle sequence present in an analyte capture agent. The capture domain can have a sequence complementary to a splint oligonucleotide. Such splint oligonucleotide, in addition to having a sequence complementary to a capture domain of a capture probe, can have a sequence of a nucleic acid analyte, a sequence complementary to a portion of a connected probe described herein, and/or a capture handle sequence described herein. - The functional sequences can generally be selected for compatibility with any of a variety of different sequencing systems, e.g., Ion Torrent Proton or PGM, Illumina sequencing instruments, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, etc., and the requirements thereof. In some embodiments, functional sequences can be selected for compatibility with non-commercialized sequencing systems. Examples of such sequencing systems and techniques, for which suitable functional sequences can be used, include (but are not limited to) Ion Torrent Proton or PGM sequencing, Illumina sequencing, PacBio SMRT sequencing, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Further, in some embodiments, functional sequences can be selected for compatibility with other sequencing systems, including non-commercialized sequencing systems.
- In some embodiments, the
spatial barcode 105 andfunctional sequences 104 are common to all of the probes attached to a given feature. In some embodiments, theUMI sequence 106 of a capture probe attached to a given feature is different from the UMI sequence of a different capture probe attached to the given feature. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustrating a cleavable capture probe, wherein the cleaved capture probe can enter into a non-permeabilized cell and bind to analytes within the sample. Thecapture probe 201 contains acleavage domain 202, acell penetrating peptide 203, areporter molecule 204, and a disulfide bond (-S-S-). 205 represents all other parts of a capture probe, for example a spatial barcode and a capture domain. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary multiplexed spatially-barcoded feature. InFIG. 3 , thefeature 301 can be coupled to spatially-barcoded capture probes, wherein the spatially-barcoded probes of a particular feature can possess the same spatial barcode, but have different capture domains designed to associate the spatial barcode of the feature with more than one target analyte. For example, a feature may be coupled to four different types of spatially-barcoded capture probes, each type of spatially-barcoded capture probe possessing thespatial barcode 302. One type of capture probe associated with the feature includes thespatial barcode 302 in combination with a poly(T)capture domain 303, designed to capture mRNA target analytes. A second type of capture probe associated with the feature includes thespatial barcode 302 in combination with a random N-mer capture domain 304 for gDNA analysis. A third type of capture probe associated with the feature includes thespatial barcode 302 in combination with a capture domain complementary to a capture handle sequence of an analyte capture agent ofinterest 305. A fourth type of capture probe associated with the feature includes thespatial barcode 302 in combination with a capture domain that can specifically bind anucleic acid molecule 306 that can function in a CRISPR assay (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9). While only four different capture probe-barcoded constructs are shown inFIG. 3 , capture-probe barcoded constructs can be tailored for analyses of any given analyte associated with a nucleic acid and capable of binding with such a construct. For example, the schemes shown inFIG. 3 can also be used for concurrent analysis of other analytes disclosed herein, including, but not limited to: (a) mRNA, a lineage tracing construct, cell surface or intracellular proteins and metabolites, and gDNA; (b) mRNA, accessible chromatin (e.g., ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, and/or MNase-seq) cell surface or intracellular proteins and metabolites, and a perturbation agent (e.g., a CRISPR crRNA/sgRNA, TALEN, zinc finger nuclease, and/or antisense oligonucleotide as described herein); (c) mRNA, cell surface or intracellular proteins and/or metabolites, a barcoded labelling agent (e.g., the MHC multimers described herein), and a V(D)J sequence of an immune cell receptor (e.g., T-cell receptor).

Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- In some embodiments, detection of one or more analytes (e.g., protein analytes) can be performed using one or more analyte capture agents. As used herein, an “analyte capture agent” refers to an agent that interacts with an analyte (e.g., an analyte in a biological sample) and with a capture probe (e.g., a capture probe attached to a substrate or a feature) to identify the analyte. In some embodiments, the analyte capture agent includes: (i) an analyte binding moiety (e.g., that binds to an analyte), for example, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; (ii) analyte binding moiety barcode; and (iii) a capture handle sequence. As used herein, the term “analyte binding moiety barcode” refers to a barcode that is associated with or otherwise identifies the analyte binding moiety. As used herein, the term “analyte capture sequence” or “capture handle sequence” refers to a region or moiety configured to hybridize to, bind to, couple to, or otherwise interact with a capture domain of a capture probe. In some embodiments, a capture handle sequence is complementary to a capture domain of a capture probe. In some cases, an analyte binding moiety barcode (or portion thereof) may be able to be removed (e.g., cleaved) from the analyte capture agent.

The exemplary analyte -bindingmoiety 404 is a molecule capable of binding to ananalyte 406 and the analyte capture agent is capable of interacting with a spatially-barcoded capture probe. The analyte -binding moiety can bind to theanalyte 406 with high affinity and/or with high specificity. The analyte capture agent can include an analyte -bindingmoiety barcode domain 408, a nucleotide sequence (e.g., an oligonucleotide), which can hybridize to at least a portion or an entirety of a capture domain of a capture probe.

FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C are schematics illustrating how streptavidin cell tags can be utilized in an array-based system to produce a spatially-barcoded cell or cellular contents. For example, as shown inFIG. 6A , peptide-bound major histocompatibility complex (MHC) can be individually associated with biotin (β2m) and bound to a streptavidin moiety such that the streptavidin moiety comprises multiple pMHC moieties. Each of these moieties can bind to a TCR such that the streptavidin binds to a target T-cell via multiple MHC/TCR binding interactions. Multiple interactions synergize and can substantially improve binding affinity. Such improved affinity can improve labelling of T-cells and also reduce the likelihood that labels will dissociate from T-cell surfaces. As shown inFIG. 6B , a captureagent barcode domain 601 can be modified withstreptavidin 602 and contacted with multiple molecules ofbiotinylated MHC 603 such that thebiotinylated MHC 603 molecules are coupled with the streptavidin conjugated captureagent barcode domain 601. The result is a barcodedMHC multimer complex 605. As shown inFIG. 6B , the capture agentbarcode domain sequence 601 can identify the MHC as its associated label and also includes optional functional sequences such as sequences for hybridization with other oligonucleotides. As shown inFIG. 6C , one example oligonucleotide iscapture probe 606 that comprises a complementary sequence (e.g., rGrGrG corresponding to C C C), a barcode sequence and other functional sequences, such as, for example, a UMI, an adapter sequence (e.g., comprising a sequencing primer sequence (e.g., R1 or a partial R1 (“pR1”), R2), a flow cell attachment sequence (e.g., P5 or P7 or partial sequences thereof)), etc. In some cases,capture probe 606 may at first be associated with a feature (e.g., a gel bead) and released from the feature. In other embodiments,capture probe 606 can hybridize with a captureagent barcode domain 601 of the MHC-oligonucleotide complex 605. The hybridized oligonucleotides (Spacer C C C and Spacer rGrGrG) can then be extended in primer extension reactions such that constructs comprising sequences that correspond to each of the two spatial barcode sequences (the spatial barcode associated with the capture probe, and the barcode associated with the MHC-oligonucleotide complex) are generated. In some cases, one or both of these corresponding sequences may be a complement of the original sequence incapture probe 606 or captureagent barcode domain 601. In other embodiments, the capture probe and the capture agent barcode domain are ligated together. The resulting constructs can be optionally further processed (e.g., to add any additional sequences and/or for clean-up) and subjected to sequencing. As described elsewhere herein, a sequence derived from thecapture probe 606 spatial barcode sequence may be used to identify a feature and the sequence derived from spatial barcode sequence on the captureagent barcode domain 601 may be used to identify the particular peptide MHC complex 604 bound on the surface of the cell (e.g., when using MHC-peptide libraries for screening immune cells or immune cell populations). - Additional description of analyte capture agents can be found in Section (II)(b)(ix) of WO 2020/176788 and/or Section (II)(b)(viii) U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- There are at least two methods to associate a spatial barcode with one or more neighboring cells, such that the spatial barcode identifies the one or more cells, and/or contents of the one or more cells, as associated with a particular spatial location. One method is to promote analytes or analyte proxies (e.g., intermediate agents) out of a cell and towards a spatially-barcoded array (e.g., including spatially-barcoded capture probes). Another method is to cleave spatially-barcoded capture probes from an array and promote the spatially-barcoded capture probes towards and/or into or onto the biological sample.
- In some cases, capture probes may be configured to prime, replicate, and consequently yield optionally barcoded extension products from a template (e.g., a DNA or RNA template, such as an analyte or an intermediate agent (e.g., a connected probe (e.g., a ligation product) or an analyte capture agent), or a portion thereof), or derivatives thereof (see, e.g., Section (II)(b)(vii) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663 regarding extended capture probes). In some cases, capture probes may be configured to form a connected probe (e.g., a ligation product) with a template (e.g., a DNA or RNA template, such as an analyte or an intermediate agent, or portion thereof), thereby creating ligations products that serve as proxies for a template.
- As used herein, an “extended capture probe” refers to a capture probe having additional nucleotides added to the terminus (e.g., 3′ or 5′ end) of the capture probe thereby extending the overall length of the capture probe. For example, an “extended 3′ end” indicates additional nucleotides were added to the most 3′ nucleotide of the capture probe to extend the length of the capture probe, for example, by polymerization reactions used to extend nucleic acid molecules including templated polymerization catalyzed by a polymerase (e.g., a DNA polymerase or a reverse transcriptase). In some embodiments, extending the capture probe includes adding to a 3′ end of a capture probe a nucleic acid sequence that is complementary to a nucleic acid sequence of an analyte or intermediate agent specifically bound to the capture domain of the capture probe. In some embodiments, the capture probe is extended using reverse transcription. In some embodiments, the capture probe is extended using one or more DNA polymerases. The extended capture probes include the sequence of the capture probe and the sequence of the spatial barcode of the capture probe.
- In some embodiments, extended capture probes are amplified (e.g., in bulk solution or on the array) to yield quantities that are sufficient for downstream analysis, e.g., via DNA sequencing. In some embodiments, extended capture probes (e.g., DNA molecules) act as templates for an amplification reaction (e.g., a polymerase chain reaction).
- Additional variants of spatial analysis methods, including in some embodiments, an imaging step, are described in Section (II)(a) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. Analysis of captured analytes (and/or intermediate agents or portions thereof), for example, including sample removal, extension of capture probes, sequencing (e.g., of a cleaved extended capture probe and/or a cDNA molecule complementary to an extended capture probe), sequencing on the array (e.g., using, for example, in situ hybridization or in situ ligation approaches), temporal analysis, and/or proximity capture, is described in Section (II)(g) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. Some quality control measures are described in Section (II)(h) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- Spatial information can provide information of biological and/or medical importance. For example, the methods and compositions described herein can allow for: identification of one or more biomarkers (e.g., diagnostic, prognostic, and/or for determination of efficacy of a treatment) of a disease or disorder; identification of a candidate drug target for treatment of a disease or disorder; identification (e.g., diagnosis) of a subject as having a disease or disorder; identification of stage and/or prognosis of a disease or disorder in a subject; identification of a subject as having an increased likelihood of developing a disease or disorder; monitoring of progression of a disease or disorder in a subject; determination of efficacy of a treatment of a disease or disorder in a subject; identification of a patient subpopulation for which a treatment is effective for a disease or disorder; modification of a treatment of a subject with a disease or disorder; selection of a subject for participation in a clinical trial; and/or selection of a treatment for a subject with a disease or disorder.
- Spatial information can provide information of biological importance. For example, the methods and compositions described herein can allow for: identification of transcriptome and/or proteome expression profiles (e.g., in healthy and/or diseased tissue); identification of multiple analyte types in close proximity (e.g., nearest neighbor analysis); determination of up- and/or down-regulated genes and/or proteins in diseased tissue; characterization of tumor microenvironments; characterization of tumor immune responses; characterization of cells types and their co-localization in tissue; and identification of genetic variants within tissues (e.g., based on gene and/or protein expression profiles associated with specific disease or disorder biomarkers).
- Typically, for spatial array-based methods, a substrate functions as a support for direct or indirect attachment of capture probes to features of the array. A “feature” is an entity that acts as a support or repository for various molecular entities used in spatial analysis. In some embodiments, some or all of the features in an array are functionalized for analyte capture. Exemplary substrates are described in Section (II)(c) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. Exemplary features and geometric attributes of an array can be found in Sections (II)(d)(i), (II)(d)(iii), and (II)(d)(iv) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- Generally, analytes and/or intermediate agents (or portions thereof) can be captured when contacting a biological sample with a substrate including capture probes (e.g., a substrate with capture probes embedded, spotted, printed, fabricated on the substrate, or a substrate with features (e.g., beads, wells) comprising capture probes). As used herein, “contact,” “contacted,” and/or “contacting,” a biological sample with a substrate refers to any contact (e.g., direct or indirect) such that capture probes can interact (e.g., bind covalently or non-covalently (e.g., hybridize)) with analytes from the biological sample. Capture can be achieved actively (e.g., using electrophoresis) or passively (e.g., using diffusion). Analyte capture is further described in Section (II)(e) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- In some cases, spatial analysis can be performed by attaching and/or introducing a molecule (e.g., a peptide, a lipid, or a nucleic acid molecule) having a barcode (e.g., a spatial barcode) to a biological sample (e.g., to a cell in a biological sample). In some embodiments, a plurality of molecules (e.g., a plurality of nucleic acid molecules) having a plurality of barcodes (e.g., a plurality of spatial barcodes) are introduced to a biological sample (e.g., to a plurality of cells in a biological sample) for use in spatial analysis. In some embodiments, after attaching and/or introducing a molecule having a barcode to a biological sample, the biological sample can be physically separated (e.g., dissociated) into single cells or cell groups for analysis. Some such methods of spatial analysis are described in Section (III) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663.
- In some cases, spatial analysis can be performed by detecting multiple oligonucleotides that hybridize to an analyte. In some instances, for example, spatial analysis can be performed using RNA-templated ligation (RTL). Methods of RTL have been described previously. See, e.g., Credle et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 2017 Aug 21;45(14):e128. Typically, RTL includes hybridization of two oligonucleotides to adjacent sequences on an analyte (e.g., an RNA molecule, such as an mRNA molecule). In some instances, the oligonucleotides are DNA molecules. In some instances, one of the oligonucleotides includes at least two ribonucleic acid bases at the 3′ end and/or the other oligonucleotide includes a phosphorylated nucleotide at the 5′ end. In some instances, one of the two oligonucleotides includes a capture domain (e.g., a poly(A) sequence, a non-homopolymeric sequence). After hybridization to the analyte, a ligase (e.g., SplintR ligase) ligates the two oligonucleotides together, creating a connected probe (e.g., a ligation product). In some instances, the two oligonucleotides hybridize to sequences that are not adjacent to one another. For example, hybridization of the two oligonucleotides creates a gap between the hybridized oligonucleotides. In some instances, a polymerase (e.g., a DNA polymerase) can extend one of the oligonucleotides prior to ligation. After ligation, the connected probe (e.g., a ligation product) is released from the analyte. In some instances, the connected probe (e.g., a ligation product) is released using an endonuclease (e.g., RNAse H). The released connected probe (e.g., a ligation product) can then be captured by capture probes (e.g., instead of direct capture of an analyte) on an array, optionally amplified, and sequenced, thus determining the location and optionally the abundance of the analyte in the biological sample.
- During analysis of spatial information, sequence information for a spatial barcode associated with an analyte is obtained, and the sequence information can be used to provide information about the spatial distribution of the analyte in the biological sample. Various methods can be used to obtain the spatial information. In some embodiments, specific capture probes and the analytes they capture are associated with specific locations in an array of features on a substrate. For example, specific spatial barcodes can be associated with specific array locations prior to array fabrication, and the sequences of the spatial barcodes can be stored (e.g., in a database) along with specific array location information, so that each spatial barcode uniquely maps to a particular array location.
- Alternatively, specific spatial barcodes can be deposited at predetermined locations in an array of features during fabrication such that at each location, only one type of spatial barcode is present so that spatial barcodes are uniquely associated with a single feature of the array. Where necessary, the arrays can be decoded using any of the methods described herein so that spatial barcodes are uniquely associated with array feature locations, and this mapping can be stored as described above.
- When sequence information is obtained for capture probes and/or analytes during analysis of spatial information, the locations of the capture probes and/or analytes can be determined by referring to the stored information that uniquely associates each spatial barcode with an array feature location. In this manner, specific capture probes and captured analytes are associated with specific locations in the array of features. Each array feature location represents a position relative to a coordinate reference point (e.g., an array location, a fiducial marker) for the array. Accordingly, each feature location has an “address” or location in the coordinate space of the array.
- Some exemplary spatial analysis workflows are described in the Exemplary Embodiments section of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. See, for example, the Exemplary embodiment starting with “In some non-limiting examples of the workflows described herein, the sample can be immersed...” of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663. See also, e.g., the Visium Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits User Guide (e.g., Rev C, dated June 2020), and/or the Visium Spatial Tissue Optimization Reagent Kits User Guide (e.g., Rev C, dated July 2020).
- In some embodiments, spatial analysis can be performed using dedicated hardware and/or software, such as any of the systems described in Sections (II)(e)(ii) and/or (V) of WO 2020/176788 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2020/0277663, or any of one or more of the devices or methods described in Sections Control Slide for Imaging, Methods of Using Control Slides and Substrates for, Systems of Using Control Slides and Substrates for Imaging, and/or Sample and Array Alignment Devices and Methods, Informational labels of WO 2020/123320.
- Suitable systems for performing spatial analysis can include components such as a chamber (e.g., a flow cell or sealable, fluid-tight chamber) for containing a biological sample. The biological sample can be mounted for example, in a biological sample holder. One or more fluid chambers can be connected to the chamber and/or the sample holder via fluid conduits, and fluids can be delivered into the chamber and/or sample holder via fluidic pumps, vacuum sources, or other devices coupled to the fluid conduits that create a pressure gradient to drive fluid flow. One or more valves can also be connected to fluid conduits to regulate the flow of reagents from reservoirs to the chamber and/or sample holder.
- The systems can optionally include a control unit that includes one or more electronic processors, an input interface, an output interface (such as a display), and a storage unit (e.g., a solid state storage medium such as, but not limited to, a magnetic, optical, or other solid state, persistent, writeable and/or re-writeable storage medium). The control unit can optionally be connected to one or more remote devices via a network. The control unit (and components thereof) can generally perform any of the steps and functions described herein. Where the system is connected to a remote device, the remote device (or devices) can perform any of the steps or features described herein. The systems can optionally include one or more detectors (e.g., CCD, CMOS) used to capture images. The systems can also optionally include one or more light sources (e.g., LED-based, diode-based, lasers) for illuminating a sample, a substrate with features, analytes from a biological sample captured on a substrate, and various control and calibration media.
- The systems can optionally include software instructions encoded and/or implemented in one or more of tangible storage media and hardware components such as application specific integrated circuits. The software instructions, when executed by a control unit (and in particular, an electronic processor) or an integrated circuit, can cause the control unit, integrated circuit, or other component executing the software instructions to perform any of the method steps or functions described herein.
- In some cases, the systems described herein can detect (e.g., register an image) the biological sample on the array. Exemplary methods to detect the biological sample on an array are described in PCT Application No. 2020/061064 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Serial No. 16/951,854.
- Prior to transferring analytes from the biological sample to the array of features on the substrate, the biological sample can be aligned with the array. Alignment of a biological sample and an array of features including capture probes can facilitate spatial analysis, which can be used to detect differences in analyte presence and/or level within different positions in the biological sample, for example, to generate a three-dimensional map of the analyte presence and/or level. Exemplary methods to generate a two- and/or three-dimensional map of the analyte presence and/or level are described in PCT Application No. 2020/053655 and spatial analysis methods are generally described in WO 2020/061108 and/or U.S. Pat. Application Serial No. 16/951,864.
- In some cases, a map of analyte presence and/or level can be aligned to an image of a biological sample using one or more fiducial markers, e.g., objects placed in the field of view of an imaging system which appear in the image produced, as described in the Substrate Attributes Section, Control Slide for Imaging Section of WO 2020/123320, PCT Application No. 2020/061066, and/or U.S. Pat. Application Serial No. 16/951,843. Fiducial markers can be used as a point of reference or measurement scale for alignment (e.g., to align a sample and an array, to align two substrates, to determine a location of a sample or array on a substrate relative to a fiducial marker) and/or for quantitative measurements of sizes and/or distances.
- A “biological sample” is obtained from the subject for analysis using any of a variety of techniques including, but not limited to, biopsy, surgery, and laser capture microscopy (LCM), and generally includes cells and/or other biological material from the subject. In addition to the subjects described above, a biological sample can be obtained from non-mammalian organisms (e.g., a plant, an insect, an arachnid, a nematode (e.g., Caenorhabditis elegans), a fungi, an amphibian, or a fish (e.g., zebrafish)). A biological sample can be obtained from a prokaryote such as a bacterium, e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococci or Mycoplasma pneumoniae; an archaea; a virus such as Hepatitis C virus or human immunodeficiency virus; or a viroid. A biological sample can be obtained from a eukaryote, such as a patient derived organoid (PDO) or patient derived xenograft (PDX). The biological sample can include organoids, a miniaturized and simplified version of an organ produced in vitro in three dimensions that shows realistic micro-anatomy. Organoids can be generated from one or more cells from a tissue, embryonic stem cells, and/or induced pluripotent stem cells, which can self-organize in three-dimensional culture owing to their self-renewal and differentiation capacities. In some embodiments, an organoid is a cerebral organoid, an intestinal organoid, a stomach organoid, a lingual organoid, a thyroid organoid, a thymic organoid, a testicular organoid, a hepatic organoid, a pancreatic organoid, an epithelial organoid, a lung organoid, a kidney organoid, a gastruloid, a cardiac organoid, or a retinal organoid. Subjects from which biological samples can be obtained can be healthy or asymptomatic individuals, individuals that have or are suspected of having a disease (e.g., cancer) or a predisposition to a disease, and/or individuals that are in need of therapy or suspected of needing therapy.
- Biological samples can be derived from a homogeneous culture or population of the subjects or organisms mentioned herein or alternatively from a collection of several different organisms, for example, in a community or ecosystem.
- Biological samples can include one or more diseased cells. A diseased cell can have altered metabolic properties, gene expression, protein expression, and/or morphologic features. Examples of diseases include inflammatory disorders, metabolic disorders, nervous system disorders, and cancer. Cancer cells can be derived from solid tumors, hematological malignancies, cell lines, or obtained as circulating tumor cells.
- Biological samples can also include fetal cells. For example, a procedure such as amniocentesis can be performed to obtain a fetal cell sample from maternal circulation. Sequencing of fetal cells can be used to identify any of a number of genetic disorders, including, e.g., aneuploidy such as Down’s syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome. Further, cell surface features of fetal cells can be used to identify any of a number of disorders or diseases.
- Biological samples can also include immune cells. Sequence analysis of the immune repertoire of such cells, including genomic, proteomic, and cell surface features, can provide a wealth of information to facilitate an understanding of the status and function of the immune system. By way of example, determining the status (e.g., negative or positive) of minimal residue disease (MRD) in a multiple myeloma (MM) patient following autologous stem cell transplantation is considered a predictor of MRD in the MM patient (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Application Publication No. 2018/0156784, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference).
- Examples of immune cells in a biological sample include, but are not limited to, B cells, T cells (e.g., cytotoxic T cells, natural killer T cells, regulatory T cells, and T helper cells), natural killer cells, cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells, myeloid cells, such as granulocytes (basophil granulocytes, eosinophil granulocytes, neutrophil granulocytes/hypersegmented neutrophils), monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, thrombocytes/megakaryocytes, and dendritic cells.
- The biological sample can include any number of macromolecules, for example, cellular macromolecules and organelles (e.g., mitochondria and nuclei). The biological sample can be a nucleic acid sample and/or protein sample. The biological sample can be a carbohydrate sample or a lipid sample. The biological sample can be obtained as a tissue sample, such as a tissue section, biopsy, a core biopsy, needle aspirate, or fine needle aspirate. The sample can be a fluid sample, such as a blood sample, urine sample, or saliva sample. The sample can be a skin sample, a colon sample, a cheek swab, a histology sample, a histopathology sample, a plasma or serum sample, a tumor sample, living cells, cultured cells, a clinical sample such as, for example, whole blood or blood-derived products, blood cells, or cultured tissues or cells, including cell suspensions.
- Cell-free biological samples can include extracellular polynucleotides. Extracellular polynucleotides can be isolated from a bodily sample, e.g., blood, plasma, serum, urine, saliva, mucosal excretions, sputum, stool, and tears.
- As discussed above, a biological sample can include a single analyte of interest, or more than one analyte of interest. Methods for performing multiplexed assays to analyze two or more different analytes in a single biological sample is discussed in a subsequent section of this disclosure.
- The plurality of cells provided herein can be a homogenous or heterogeneous cell population. In some embodiments, the cells can be obtained from a tissue sample, a cell culture sample, or a body fluid sample. In some embodiments, the samples can be a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sample, a frozen sample, or a fresh sample.
- In some embodiments, cells separated and printed on a surface using the methods described herein can have a viability of at least 80% (e.g., at least 81%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%). In some instances, the cells have 100% viability. In some embodiments, the cells can be viable for at least 30 minutes (e.g. at least 45, 60, 75, 90, or 120 minutes) after being printed on the surface. In some instances, at least 50% of the cells (e.g, at least 55%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% of the cells) are alive two hours after being printed on the surface. Cell viability as described herein is a measure of the proportion of live healthy cells within a population of cells, e.g. using cell viability essays. Cell viability essays are well known in the art, such as but not limited to: TUNEL assay, Trypan Blue staining, Propidium iodide staining, and cell membrane leakage assays.
- In some embodiments, the cells provided herein can have a diameter of about 5 µm to about 25 µm (e.g., about 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, or 24 µm). The methods provided herein may also include staining the cell prior to separating the cell from the plurality of cells. The cells can be stained using techniques described herein, such as fluorescent labeling.
- In some instances, biological samples can be stained using a wide variety of stains and staining techniques. In some instances, the biological sample is a tissue or a cell culture population that is incubated with a detectable marker (e.g., an antibody conjugated to a fluorophore). In some instances, the biological sample is a section on a slide (e.g., a 10 µm section). In some instances, the biological sample is dried after placement onto a glass slide. In some instances, the biological sample is dried at 42° C. In some instances, drying occurs for about 1 hour, about 2, hours, about 3 hours, or until the sections become transparent. In some instances, the biological sample can be dried overnight (e.g., in a desiccator at room temperature).
- In some embodiments, a sample can be stained using any number of biological stains, including but not limited to, acridine orange, Bismarck brown, carmine, coomassie blue, cresyl violet, DAPI, eosin, ethidium bromide, acid fuchsine, hematoxylin, Hoechst stains, iodine, methyl green, methylene blue, neutral red, Nile blue, Nile red, osmium tetroxide, propidium iodide, rhodamine, or safranin. In some instances, the methods disclosed herein include imaging the biological sample. In some instances, imaging the sample occurs prior to deaminating the biological sample. In some instances, the sample can be stained using known staining techniques, including Can-Grunwald, Giemsa, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Jenner’s, Leishman, Masson’s trichrome, Papanicolaou, Romanowsky, silver, Sudan, Wright’s, and/or Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining techniques. PAS staining is typically performed after formalin or acetone fixation. In some instances, the stain is an H&E stain.
- In some embodiments, the biological sample can be stained using a detectable label (e.g., radioisotopes, fluorophores, chemiluminescent compounds, bioluminescent compounds, and dyes) as described elsewhere herein. In some embodiments, a biological sample is stained using only one type of stain or one technique. In some embodiments, staining includes biological staining techniques such as H&E staining. In some embodiments, staining includes identifying analytes using fluorescently-conjugated antibodies. In some embodiments, a biological sample is stained using two or more different types of stains, or two or more different staining techniques. For example, a biological sample can be prepared by staining and imaging using one technique (e.g., H&E staining and brightfield imaging), followed by staining and imaging using another technique (e.g., IHC/IF staining and fluorescence microscopy) for the same biological sample.
- In some embodiments, biological samples can be destained. Methods of destaining or discoloring a biological sample are known in the art, and generally depend on the nature of the stain(s) applied to the sample. For example, H&E staining can be destained by washing the sample in HC1, or any other acid (e.g., selenic acid, sulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, benzoic acid, carbonic acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, salicylic acid, tartaric acid, sulfurous acid, trichloroacetic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, orthophosphoric acid, arsenic acid, selenous acid, chromic acid, citric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitrous acid, isocyanic acid, formic acid, hydrogen selenide, molybdic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, carbonic acid, hydrogen sulfide, or combinations thereof). In some embodiments, destaining can include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more washes in an acid (e.g., HCl). In some embodiments, destaining can include adding HC1 to a downstream solution (e.g., permeabilization solution). In some embodiments, destaining can include dissolving an enzyme used in the disclosed methods (e.g., pepsin) in an acid (e.g., HCl) solution. In some embodiments, after destaining hematoxylin with an acid, other reagents can be added to the destaining solution to raise the pH for use in other applications. For example, SDS can be added to an acid destaining solution in order to raise the pH as compared to the acid destaining solution alone. As another example, in some embodiments, one or more immunofluorescence stains are applied to the sample via antibody coupling. Such stains can be removed using techniques such as cleavage of disulfide linkages via treatment with a reducing agent and detergent washing, chaotropic salt treatment, treatment with antigen retrieval solution, and treatment with an acidic glycine buffer. Methods for multiplexed staining and destaining are described, for example, in Bolognesi et al., J. Histochem. Cytochem. 2017; 65(8): 431-444, Lin et al., Nat Commun. 2015; 6:8390, Pirici et al., J. Histochem. Cytochem. 2009; 57:567-75, and Glass et al., J. Histochem. Cytochem. 2009; 57:899-905, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, immunofluorescence or immunohistochemistry protocols (direct and indirect staining techniques) can be performed as a part of, or in addition to, the exemplary spatial workflows presented herein. For example, tissue sections can be fixed according to methods described herein. The biological sample can be transferred to an array (e.g., capture probe array), wherein analytes (e.g., proteins) are probed using immunofluorescence protocols. For example, the sample can be rehydrated, blocked, and permeabilized (3X SSC, 2% BSA, 0.1 % Triton X, 1 U/µl RNAse inhibitor for 10 minutes at 4° C.) before being stained with fluorescent primary antibodies (1:100 in 3XSSC, 2% BSA, 0.1 % Triton X, 1 U/µl RNAse inhibitor for 30 minutes at 4° C.). The biological sample can be washed, coverslipped (in glycerol + 1 U/µl RNAse inhibitor), imaged (e.g., using a confocal microscope or other apparatus capable of fluorescent detection), washed, and processed according to analyte capture or spatial workflows described herein.
- In some instances, a glycerol solution and a cover slip can be added to the sample. In some instances, the glycerol solution can include a counterstain (e.g., DAPI). As used herein, an antigen retrieval buffer can improve antibody capture in IF/IHC protocols. An exemplary protocol for antigen retrieval can be preheating the antigen retrieval buffer (e.g., to 95° C.), immersing the biological sample in the heated antigen retrieval buffer for a predetermined time, and then removing the biological sample from the antigen retrieval buffer and washing the biological sample. In some embodiments, optimizing permeabilization can be useful for identifying intracellular analytes. Permeabilization optimization can include selection of permeabilization agents, concentration of permeabilization agents, and permeabilization duration. Tissue permeabilization is discussed elsewhere herein.
- In some embodiments, blocking an array and/or a biological sample in preparation of labeling the biological sample decreases nonspecific binding of the antibodies to the array and/or biological sample (decreases background). Some embodiments provide for blocking buffers/blocking solutions that can be applied before and/or during application of the label, wherein the blocking buffer can include a blocking agent, and optionally a surfactant and/or a salt solution. In some embodiments, a blocking agent can be bovine serum albumin (BSA), serum, gelatin (e.g., fish gelatin), milk (e.g., non-fat dry milk), casein, polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), biotin blocking reagent, a peroxidase blocking reagent, levamisole, Carnoy’s solution, glycine, lysine, sodium borohydride, pontamine sky blue, Sudan Black, trypan blue, FITC blocking agent, and/or acetic acid. The blocking buffer/blocking solution can be applied to the array and/or biological sample prior to and/or during labeling (e.g., application of fluorophore-conjugated antibodies) to the biological sample.
- Provided herein are methods for determining a location of an analyte in a cell, the method includes separating the cell from a plurality of cells; printing the cell onto a surface comprising an array, wherein the array comprises a plurality of capture probes, where a capture probe of the plurality of capture probes comprises (i) a spatial barcode and (ii) a capture domain; hybridizing the analyte to the capture domain; and determining (i) all or a part of the sequence of the analyte bound to the capture domain, or a complement thereof, and (ii) all or a part of the sequence of the spatial barcode, or a complement thereof, and using the determined sequence of (i) and (ii) to identify the location of the analyte in the cell.
FIG. 7 shows an exemplary workflow for determining a location of an analyte in a cell. - The present disclosure provides methods for separating a cell from a plurality of cells and printing the cell onto a surface, where in some instances the cell occupies a unique spatial location on the surface that is not occupied by any other cell in the plurality of cells. In other word, the cell’s location is unique to one or more spots on an array. This provides the ability to examine both phenotype (e.g., using imaging discussed herein) and genotype (e.g., by decoding the analyte that hybridizes to a capture probe).
- In some embodiments, single-cell isolation techniques include, but are not limited to, flow cytometry, laser microdissection, manual cell picking, and microfluidics techniques. In some instances, the cells in the sample may be aggregated, and may be disaggregated into individual cells using, for example, enzymatic or mechanical techniques. Examples of enzymes used in enzymatic disaggregation include, but are not limited to, dispase, collagenase, trypsin, or combinations thereof. Mechanical disaggregation can be performed, for example, using a tissue homogenizer. In some instances of unaggregated cells or disaggregated cells, the cells are distributed onto the substrate such that at least one cell occupies a distinct spatial feature on the substrate. The cells can be immobilized on the substrate (e.g., to prevent lateral diffusion of the cells). In some embodiments, a cell immobilization agent can be used to immobilize a non-aggregated or disaggregated sample on a spatially-barcoded array prior to analyte capture. A “cell immobilization agent” can refer to an antibody, attached to a substrate, which can bind to a cell surface marker. In some embodiments, the distribution of the plurality of cells on the substrate follows Poisson statistics.
- In some embodiments, cells from a plurality of cells are immobilized on a substrate. In some embodiments, the cells are immobilized to prevent lateral diffusion, for example, by adding a hydrogel and/or by the application of an electric field.
- Cell printing techniques are described herein and known in the art. See, e.g., Gross et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. 16:16897-16919, 2015; Zhang et al., PNAS, 2014 111 (8) 2948-2953; Marzo et al., Nature Communications, 6, 8661 (2015); Laurell et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2007,36, 492-506; and Ding et al., PNAS, 2012 109 (28) 11105-11109, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Additional exemplary methods of cell isolation include inkjet cell printing, surface engineering, physical constraints, microfluidic methods, or a combination thereof.
- Inkjet cell printing may include encapsulating single cells in a picolitre-sized droplets that are then deposited via inkjet-like printing at defined locations. Inkjet cell printing can be carried out according to methods described in e.g., Yusof et al. Lab Chip 11(14):2447-2454, 2011; Calvert, Science 318(5848):208-209, 2007; and Nakamura et al. Tissue Eng 11(11-12): 1658-1666, 2005, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- In some instances, the methods provide herein isolate single cells encapsulated in droplets (e.g., in a picoliter-sized droplet) that are then deposited by inkjet-like printing at defined locations for downstream genomic analysis. In some instances, the methods include use of a dispenser chip to print cells contained in a free flying droplet, a computer vision system to detect single-cells inside the dispenser chip prior to printing, and appropriate automation equipment to print single-cells onto defined locations on a substrate (e.g., an array).
- Surface engineering techniques can involve the use of, e.g., micromagnetic substrates. See, e.g., those described in Tseng et al. Nat Methods, 9(11):1113-1119, 2012, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, and patterned substrates with fibronectin features generated using a tilted elastomeric pyramidal pen array (see, e.g., those described in Giam et al. PNAS, 109(12):4377-4382, 2012, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). Additional surface engineering techniques contemplated herein include those described in Vermesh et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 50(32): 7378-7380, 2011; Azioune et al. Lab Chip, 9(11):1640-1642, 2009; Tan et al. Integr Biol (Camb) 1(10):587-594, 2009; Falconnet et al. Biomaterials, 27(16):3044-3063, 2006; Suh et al. Biomaterials 25(3):557-563, 2004; Lee et al. Science, 295(5560):1702-1705, 2002; and Chen et al. Science, 276(5317):1425-1428, 1997, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- Physical constraints, such as those used in connection with microfluidic techniques, are useful for trapping single cells (See, e.g., Lin et al. Lab Chip, 13(4):714-721, 2013; and Chung et al. Anal Chem, 83(18):7044-7052, 2011, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). Physical constraints such as microwell arrays (See, e.g. Wood et al. PNAS, 107(22):10008-10013, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety); or those created using parylene membranes or elastomeric membranes can also be used for micro-patterning cells (See, e.g., Wright et al. J Biomed Mater Res A 85(2):530-538, 2008; Rosenthal et al. Biomaterials, 28(21):3208-3216, 2007; Rettig and Folch, Anal Chem, 77(17):5628-5634, 2005; Ostuni et al. Langmuir 16(20):7811-7819, 2000; and Folch et al. J Biomed Mater Res, 52(2):346-353, 2000, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety).
- Microfluidic techniques are useful either alone or in combination with any of the above techniques for separating a cell from a plurality of cells and printing the cell on a surface. As an example, hydrodynamic methods can passively steer individual cells in a continuous flow to micro-patterned mechanical structures that spatially exclude more than a defined number of cells. Alternatively, active microfluidic techniques such as those employing optical, magnetic, electrical, and acoustic forces can be used. In some embodiments, a plurality of cells can be spatially isolated and patterned in an acoustic field defined in two dimensions. The wavelength of the acoustic field can be of the same order as the cell dimensions, such that only one cell can inhabit a given nodal location due to steric constraints. The wavelength can be from about 10 µm to about 40 µm (e.g., about 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 30, 35, or 40 µm). In some instances, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) at high frequency are used to create such a two-dimensional (2D) acoustic force field to spatially isolate a plurality of cells, where one cell per acoustic well can be achieved (See, e.g., Collins et al. Nature Communications, 6:8686, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). Cells trapped in acoustic wells can be held in place for a certain period of time through the imposition of an externally applied acoustic field.
- The methods of separating a cell from a plurality of cells provided herein can include filtering the cell through a mold. In some instances, the mold includes one or more chambers where optical, magnetic, electrical, or acoustic forces can be applied to spatially isolate the cell from a plurality of cells. The chambers can be made of any suitable materials described herein and known in the art, and can be about 100 µm to about 1000 µm (e.g., about 200, 250, 280, 350, 400, 440, 480, 520, 560, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, or 950 µm) in length, and about 100 µm to about 1000 µm (e.g., about 200, 250, 280, 350, 400, 440, 480, 520, 560, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, or 950 µm) in width.
- In some instances, the mold includes a plurality of channels (e.g., microfluidic channels) that steer the plurality of cells to flow through. At least 2, 5, 8, 15, 30, 100, 200, or 500 channels can be included in the mold, and the channels can be substantially parallel to each other. In some embodiments, the mold includes from about 2 to about 100 (e.g. about 5 to about 80, about 10 to about 60, or about 20 to about 40) individual channels. The channels can have a width of about 25 µm to about 50 µm (e.g., about 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, or 46 µm), and a height of about 10 µm to about 15 µm (e.g., about 11, 12, 13, or 14 µm). A channel can include a plurality of traps along one side in the interior of the channel, with an average distance between two adjacent traps in the same channel being about 20 µm to about 200 µm (e.g., 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, or 180 µm), and the average distance between two closest traps in adjacent channels being about 20 µm to about 200 µm (e.g., 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, or 180 µm).
- The traps can have any suitable size and shape (e.g., recesses or protruding structures on one or both sides of a channel) that is capable of physically retaining a cell as it passes through the channel. In some instances, the traps can have the shape of a hook. A trap can divide the width of the channel into a narrow side and a wide side, such that a cell that passes through the narrow side is retained by the trap. The wide side can have a gap that is larger than the narrow side by at least 5 µm (e.g., at least 8, 10, or 12 µm). In some instances, once a cell is restrained by a trap, the cell is retained for a sufficient amount of time during which no other cell can be retained by the same trap.
- In some instances, a plurality of cells suspended in culture medium are allowed to pass through the plurality of channels, and a subset of the cells are retained in the one or more traps within an individual channel. The density of the cell suspension flown through an individual channel can be at least 106 cells per mL (e.g., at least 0.5×107, 1×107, 1.5×107, or 2×107 cells per mL). In some instances, at least 50% (e.g., at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%) of the traps are occupied by cells.
- An individual channel can also include a first set of traps for capturing cells that flow through the channel in a first direction, and a second set of traps for capturing cells that flow through the channel in the opposite direction.
- Printing a cell separated from a plurality of cells onto a surface can include transferring the cell to any suitable surface described herein or known in the art, and allowing the cell to adhere to the surface. In some embodiments, the surface comprises a polystyrene, a glass, a modified glass, a functionalized glass, a hydrogel, a film, a membrane, a plastic, a nylon, a ceramic, a resin, Zeonor, silica, carbon, metals, inorganic glasses, optical fiber bundles, polymers, or a combination thereof. In some instances, printing cells on a surface include allowing the cells to adhere to the surface by incubation. The length of incubation can be dependent on the adhesive capability of the cells to the surface. In some embodiments, the cells are incubated for less than 2 hours (e.g., less than 1.5, 1, or 0.5 hours). In some embodiments, separating a cell from the plurality of cells and printing the cell onto a surface is completed under 2 hours (e.g., less than 1.5, 1, or 0.5 hours).
- In some instances, the methods provided herein include spatially isolating a plurality of cells and printing the cells onto a surface, such that two or more cells occupy unique locations on the surface as single cells. The average distance between two adjacent single cells from center to center can be between about 4 µm to about 150 µm (e.g., about 5 to about 120, about 5 to about 100, about 5 to about 90, about 5 to about 80, about 5 to about 60, about 5 to about 40, about 5 to about 30, about 5 to about 20, about 20 to about 120, about 20 to about 100, about 20 to about 90, about 20 to about 80, about 20 to about 60, about 20 to about 40, about 20 to about 30, about 30 to about 120, about 30 to about 100, about 30 to about 90, about 30 to about 80, about 30 to about 60, about 30 to about 40, about 40 to about 120, about 40 to about 100, about 40 to about 90, about 40 to about 80, about 40 to about 60, about 60 to about 120, about 60 to about 100, about 60 to about 90, about 60 to about 80, about 80 to about 120, about 80 to about 100, about 80 to about 90, about 90 to about 120, about 90 to about 100, or about 100 to 120 µm). In some instances, average distance between two adjacent single cells from center to center is between about 5 to about 14 µm. The cells can have a uniform or non-uniform distribution on the surface. In some instances, the average distance between two adjacent cells in a first portion of the surface is different from the average distance between two adjacent cells in a second portion of the surface that does not overlap with the first portion.
- In some instances, the surface is part of the mold. For example, the mold can include a chamber as described above which is formed in part by the surface, e.g. by coupling a microfluidic chamber with the surface. As another example, the mold can include a plurality of channels as described above formed by coupling a microfluidic device containing a plurality of channels with a suitable surface.
- In some instances, the molds are removed following printing the cell onto the surface, thereby leaving the cell that has been separated from the plurality of cells adhered to the surface.
- In some embodiments, the methods include preparing a suspension of cells in culture medium, placing the cells in an inlet for a plurality of microfluidic channels, and allowing the cells to flow into the channels. The cells can be pumped into the channels, and flow can be maintained by e.g. connecting an outlet for the microfluidic channels to a negative-pressure control system. A flow rate of less than 150 µm/s (e.g., less than 140, 130, 120, 110, or 100 µm/s) can be used. In some instances, the flow rate is adjusted according to the rigidity of the cells. In some instances, at least 50% (e.g., at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%) of the traps have cells retained in them, before unanchored cells are washed away by replacing the cell suspension with culture medium. The negative pressure can be turned off to allow trapped cells to adhere to the surface (e.g., by incubation). Cell adhesion may occur after about 20 to 75 minutes of incubation. The mold can be detached from the surface leaving the adhered cells on the surface.
- The methods provided herein can further include imaging the cell, e.g., prior to separating the cell and printing the cell onto a surface, after separating the cell but before printing the cell onto a surface, or after cell is printed onto a surface. Imaging a cell can be performed using any technique as described herein.
- The present disclosure provides methods for detecting an analyte from a cell printed onto a surface, where the cell has been separated from a plurality of cells (e.g., by filtering through a mold); the surface comprising an array comprising a plurality of capture probes, where a capture probe of the plurality of capture probes comprises: (i) a spatial barcode (e.g., any of the spatial barcodes described herein) and (ii) a capture domain (e.g. any of the capture domains described herein). The methods further include hybridizing the analyte to the capture domain; and determining (i) all or a part of the sequence of the analyte bound to the capture domain, or a complement thereof, and (ii) all or a part of the sequence of the spatial barcode, or a complement thereof, and using the determined sequence of (i) and (ii) to identify the location of the analyte in the cell.
- The apparatus, systems, methods, and compositions described in this disclosure can be used to detect and analyze a wide variety of different analytes. For the purpose of this disclosure, an “analyte” can include any biological substance, structure, moiety, or component to be analyzed. The term “target” can similarly refer to an analyte of interest. Analytes can be broadly classified into one of two groups: nucleic acid analytes, and non-nucleic acid analytes. Examples of non-nucleic acid analytes include, but are not limited to, lipids, carbohydrates, peptides, proteins, glycoproteins (N-linked or O-linked), lipoproteins, phosphoproteins, specific phosphorylated or acetylated variants of proteins, amidation variants of proteins, hydroxylation variants of proteins, methylation variants of proteins, ubiquitylation variants of proteins, sulfation variants of proteins, viral coat proteins, extracellular and intracellular proteins, antibodies, and antigen binding fragments. In some embodiments, the analyte can be an organelle (e.g., nuclei or mitochondria).
- The biological analyte can be any suitable biological analyte described herein and known in the art, including but not limited to: protein, an analyte comprising a post-translational modification, and nucleic acid (e.g., DNA or RNA). In some instances, the biological analyte is an mRNA. Releasing the biological analyte so that it can hybridize to the capture domain can include permeabilizing the cell using techniques described herein and known in the art. Exemplary methods include: electrophoresis and administration of a permeabilization agent. The cells can optionally be fixed or stained using methods described herein prior to permeabilization. In some instances, the cells are stained after fixing. The methods can further include imaging the cell, e.g., prior to or after releasing hybridizing the biological analyte from the cell to the capture domain. In some instances, imaging is helpful in determining the morphology of the cell, or determining the label or marker on the cell.
- Analytes can be derived from a specific type of cell and/or a specific sub-cellular region. For example, analytes can be derived from cytosol, from cell nuclei, from mitochondria, from microsomes, and more generally, from any other compartment, organelle, or portion of a cell. Permeabilizing agents that specifically target certain cell compartments and organelles can be used to selectively release analytes from cells for analysis.
- Examples of nucleic acid analytes include DNA analytes such as genomic DNA, methylated DNA, specific methylated DNA sequences, fragmented DNA, mitochondrial DNA, in situ synthesized PCR products, and RNA/DNA hybrids. Examples of nucleic acid analytes also include RNA analytes such as various types of coding and non-coding RNA. Examples of the different types of RNA analytes include messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and viral RNA. The RNA can be a transcript (e.g., present in a tissue section). The RNA can be small (e.g., less than 200 nucleic acid bases in length) or large (e.g., RNA greater than 200 nucleic acid bases in length). Small RNAs mainly include 5.8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 5S rRNA, transfer RNA (tRNA), microRNA (miRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNAs), Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA), and small rDNA-derived RNA (srRNA). The RNA can be double-stranded RNA or single-stranded RNA. The RNA can be circular RNA. The RNA can be a bacterial rRNA (e.g., 16s rRNA or 23s rRNA).
- Capture probes can detect nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid (e.g., protein) analytes. In the setting of detecting a nucleic acid, an exemplary probe in
FIG. 1 and described above hybridize to an indiscriminant sequence (e.g., a poly(A) tail) of a nucleic acid analyte. In the setting of detecting a non-nucleic acid (e.g., a protein), an analyte binding moiety binds to a protein of interest. Then, the analyte binding moiety is affixed to a nucleic acid sequence that can hybridize to the capture probe. As described above,FIG. 4 provides an exemplary embodiment of hybridization of an analyte capture agent to a capture probe using a nucleic acid sequence. - After an analyte from the sample has hybridized or otherwise been associated with a capture probe according to any of the methods described above in connection with the general spatial cell-based analytical methodology, the barcoded constructs that result from hybridization/association are analyzed.
- The density of the capture probes on the substrate array can be uniform or non-uniform. In some embodiments, the density of capture probes on a first portion of the substrate array is lower than the density of capture probes on a second portion of the array. In instances where a plurality of cells are separated and printed onto a surface to generate an array of cells, the methods provided herein include contacting the array of cells with a substrate comprising an array having comprising a plurality of capture probes, such that at least one capture probe is in contact with a cell on the array.
- In some embodiments, after contacting a biological sample with a substrate that includes capture probes, a removal step can optionally be performed to remove all or a portion of the biological sample from the substrate. In some embodiments, the removal step includes enzymatic and/or chemical degradation of cells of the biological sample. For example, the removal step can include treating the biological sample with an enzyme (e.g., a proteinase, e.g., proteinase K) to remove at least a portion of the biological sample from the substrate. In some embodiments, the removal step can include ablation of the tissue (e.g., laser ablation).
- In some embodiments, provided herein are methods for spatially detecting an analyte (e.g., detecting the location of an analyte, e.g., a biological analyte) from a biological sample (e.g., present in a biological sample), the method comprising: (a) optionally staining and/or imaging a biological sample on a substrate; (b) permeabilizing (e.g., providing a solution comprising a permeabilization reagent to) the biological sample on the substrate; (c) contacting the biological sample with an array comprising a plurality of capture probes, wherein a capture probe of the plurality captures the biological analyte; and (d) analyzing the captured biological analyte, thereby spatially detecting the biological analyte; wherein the biological sample is fully or partially removed from the substrate.
- In some embodiments, a biological sample is not removed from the substrate. For example, the biological sample is not removed from the substrate prior to releasing a capture probe (e.g., a capture probe bound to an analyte) from the substrate. In some embodiments, such releasing comprises cleavage of the capture probe from the substrate (e.g., via a cleavage domain). In some embodiments, such releasing does not comprise releasing the capture probe from the substrate (e.g., a copy of the capture probe bound to an analyte can be made and the copy can be released from the substrate, e.g., via denaturation). In some embodiments, the biological sample is not removed from the substrate prior to analysis of an analyte bound to a capture probe after it is released from the substrate. In some embodiments, the biological sample remains on the substrate during removal of a capture probe from the substrate and/or analysis of an analyte bound to the capture probe after it is released from the substrate. In some embodiments, the biological sample remains on the substrate during removal (e.g., via denaturation) of a copy of the capture probe (e.g., complement). In some embodiments, analysis of an analyte bound to capture probe from the substrate can be performed without subjecting the biological sample to enzymatic and/or chemical degradation of the cells (e.g., permeabilized cells) or ablation of the tissue (e.g., laser ablation).
- In some embodiments, at least a portion of the biological sample is not removed from the substrate. For example, a portion of the biological sample can remain on the substrate prior to releasing a capture probe (e.g., a capture probe bound to an analyte) from the substrate and/or analyzing an analyte bound to a capture probe released from the substrate. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the biological sample is not subjected to enzymatic and/or chemical degradation of the cells (e.g., permeabilized cells) or ablation of the tissue (e.g., laser ablation) prior to analysis of an analyte bound to a capture probe from the substrate.
- In some embodiments, provided herein are methods for spatially detecting an analyte (e.g., detecting the location of an analyte, e.g., a biological analyte) from a biological sample (e.g., present in a biological sample) that include: (a) optionally staining and/or imaging a biological sample on a substrate; (b) permeabilizing (e.g., providing a solution comprising a permeabilization reagent to) the biological sample on the substrate; (c) contacting the biological sample with an array comprising a plurality of capture probes, wherein a capture probe of the plurality captures the biological analyte; and (d) analyzing the captured biological analyte, thereby spatially detecting the biological analyte; where the biological sample is not removed from the substrate.
- In some embodiments, provided herein are methods for spatially detecting a biological analyte of interest from a biological sample that include: (a) staining and imaging a biological sample on a substrate; (b) providing a solution comprising a permeabilization reagent to the biological sample on the substrate; (c) contacting the biological sample with an array on a substrate, wherein the array comprises one or more capture probe pluralities thereby allowing the one or more pluralities of capture probes to capture the biological analyte of interest; and (d) analyzing the captured biological analyte, thereby spatially detecting the biological analyte of interest; where the biological sample is not removed from the substrate.
- In some embodiments, the method further includes subjecting a region of interest in the biological sample to spatial transcriptomic analysis. In some embodiments, one or more of the capture probes includes a capture domain. In some embodiments, one or more of the capture probes comprises a unique molecular identifier (UMI). In some embodiments, one or more of the capture probes comprises a cleavage domain. In some embodiments, the cleavage domain comprises a sequence recognized and cleaved by a uracil-DNA glycosylase, apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease (APE1), U uracil-specific excision reagent (USER), and/or an endonuclease VIII. In some embodiments, one or more capture probes do not comprise a cleavage domain and is not cleaved from the array.
- In some embodiments, a capture probe can be extended (an “extended capture probe,” e.g., as described herein). For example, extending a capture probe can include generating cDNA from a captured (hybridized) RNA. This process involves synthesis of a complementary strand of the hybridized nucleic acid, e.g., generating cDNA based on the captured RNA template (the RNA hybridized to the capture domain of the capture probe). Thus, in an initial step of extending a capture probe, e.g., the cDNA generation, the captured (hybridized) nucleic acid, e.g., RNA, acts as a template for the extension, e.g., reverse transcription, step.
- In some embodiments, the capture probe is extended using reverse transcription. For example, reverse transcription includes synthesizing cDNA (complementary or copy DNA) from RNA, e.g., (messenger RNA), using a reverse transcriptase. In some embodiments, reverse transcription is performed while the tissue is still in place, generating an analyte library, where the analyte library includes the spatial barcodes from the adjacent capture probes. In some embodiments, the capture probe is extended using one or more DNA polymerases.
- In some embodiments, a capture domain of a capture probe includes a primer for producing the complementary strand of a nucleic acid hybridized to the capture probe, e.g., a primer for DNA polymerase and/or reverse transcription. The nucleic acid, e.g., DNA and/or cDNA, molecules generated by the extension reaction incorporate the sequence of the capture probe. The extension of the capture probe, e.g., a DNA polymerase and/or reverse transcription reaction, can be performed using a variety of suitable enzymes and protocols.
- In some embodiments, a full-length DNA (e.g., cDNA) molecule is generated. In some embodiments, a “full-length” DNA molecule refers to the whole of the captured nucleic acid molecule. However, if a nucleic acid (e.g., RNA) was partially degraded in the tissue sample, then the captured nucleic acid molecules will not be the same length as the initial RNA in the tissue sample. In some embodiments, the 3′ end of the extended probes, e.g., first strand cDNA molecules, is modified. For example, a linker or adaptor can be ligated to the 3′ end of the extended probes. This can be achieved using single stranded ligation enzymes such as T4 RNA ligase or Circligase™ (available from Lucigen, Middleton, WI). In some embodiments, template switching oligonucleotides are used to extend cDNA in order to generate a full-length cDNA (or as close to a full-length cDNA as possible). In some embodiments, a second strand synthesis helper probe (a partially double stranded DNA molecule capable of hybridizing to the 3′ end of the extended capture probe), can be ligated to the 3′ end of the extended probe, e.g., first strand cDNA, molecule using a double stranded ligation enzyme such as T4 DNA ligase. Other enzymes appropriate for the ligation step are known in the art and include, e.g., Tth DNA ligase, Taq DNA ligase, Thermococcus sp. (strain 9°N) DNA ligase (9°N™ DNA ligase, New England Biolabs), Ampligase™ (available from Lucigen, Middleton, WI), and SplintR (available from New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA). In some embodiments, a polynucleotide tail, e.g., a poly(A) tail, is incorporated at the 3′ end of the extended probe molecules. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide tail is incorporated using a terminal transferase active enzyme.
- In some embodiments, double-stranded extended capture probes are treated to remove any unextended capture probes prior to amplification and/or analysis, e.g., sequence analysis. This can be achieved by a variety of methods, e.g., using an enzyme to degrade the unextended probes, such as an exonuclease enzyme, or purification columns.
- In some embodiments, extended capture probes are amplified to yield quantities that are sufficient for analysis, e.g., via DNA sequencing. In some embodiments, the first strand of the extended capture probes (e.g., DNA and/or cDNA molecules) acts as a template for the amplification reaction (e.g., a polymerase chain reaction).
- In some embodiments, the amplification reaction incorporates an affinity group onto the extended capture probe (e.g., RNA-cDNA hybrid) using a primer including the affinity group. In some embodiments, the primer includes an affinity group and the extended capture probes includes the affinity group. The affinity group can correspond to any of the affinity groups described previously.
- In some embodiments, the extended capture probes including the affinity group can be coupled to a substrate specific for the affinity group. In some embodiments, the substrate can include an antibody or antibody fragment. In some embodiments, the substrate includes avidin or streptavidin and the affinity group includes biotin. In some embodiments, the substrate includes maltose and the affinity group includes maltose-binding protein. In some embodiments, the substrate includes maltose-binding protein and the affinity group includes maltose. In some embodiments, amplifying the extended capture probes can function to release the extended probes from the surface of the substrate, insofar as copies of the extended probes are not immobilized on the substrate.
- In some embodiments, the extended capture probe or complement or amplicon thereof is released. The step of releasing the extended capture probe or complement or amplicon thereof from the surface of the substrate can be achieved in a number of ways. In some embodiments, an extended capture probe or a complement thereof is released from the array by nucleic acid cleavage and/or by denaturation (e.g., by heating to denature a double-stranded molecule).
- In some embodiments, the extended capture probe or complement or amplicon thereof is released from the surface of the substrate (e.g., array) by physical means. For example, where the extended capture probe is indirectly immobilized on the array substrate, e.g., via hybridization to a surface probe, it can be sufficient to disrupt the interaction between the extended capture probe and the surface probe. Methods for disrupting the interaction between nucleic acid molecules include denaturing double stranded nucleic acid molecules are known in the art. A straightforward method for releasing the DNA molecules (i.e., of stripping the array of extended probes) is to use a solution that interferes with the hydrogen bonds of the double stranded molecules. In some embodiments, the extended capture probe is released by an applying heated solution, such as water or buffer, of at least 85° C., e.g., at least 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99° C. In some embodiments, a solution including salts, surfactants, etc. that can further destabilize the interaction between the nucleic acid molecules is added to release the extended capture probe from the substrate.
- In some embodiments, where the extended capture probe includes a cleavage domain, the extended capture probe is released from the surface of the substrate by cleavage. For example, the cleavage domain of the extended capture probe can be cleaved by any of the methods described herein. In some embodiments, the extended capture probe is released from the surface of the substrate, e.g., via cleavage of a cleavage domain in the extended capture probe, prior to the step of amplifying the extended capture probe.
- In some embodiments, probes complementary to the extended capture probe can be contacted with the substrate. In some embodiments, the biological sample can be in contact with the substrate when the probes are contacted with the substrate. In some embodiments, the biological sample can be removed from the substrate prior to contacting the substrate with probes. In some embodiments, the probes can be labeled with a detectable label (e.g., any of the detectable labels described herein). In some embodiments, probes that do not specially bind (e.g., hybridize) to an extended capture probe can be washed away. In some embodiments, probes complementary to the extended capture probe can be detected on the substrate (e.g., imaging, any of the detection methods described herein).
- In some embodiments, probes complementary to an extended capture probe can be about 4 nucleotides to about 100 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, probes (e.g., detectable probes) complementary to an extended capture probe can be about 10 nucleotides to about 90 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, probes (e.g., detectable probes) complementary to an extended capture probe can be about 20 nucleotides to about 80 nucleotides long.

- In some embodiments, about 1 to about 100 probes can be contacted to the substrate and specifically bind (e.g., hybridize) to an extended capture probe. In some embodiments, about 1 to about 10 probes can be contacted to the substrate and specifically bind (e.g., hybridize) to an extended capture probe.

- In some embodiments, the probes can be complementary to a single analyte (e.g., a single gene). In some embodiments, the probes can be complementary to one or more analytes (e.g., analytes in a family of genes). In some embodiments, the probes (e.g., detectable probes) can be for a panel of genes associated with a disease (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease).
- In some instances, the analyte and capture probe can be amplified or copied, creating a plurality of cDNA molecules. In some embodiments, cDNA can be denatured from the capture probe template and transferred (e.g., to a clean tube) for amplification, and/or library construction. The spatially-barcoded cDNA can be amplified via PCR prior to library construction. The cDNA can then be enzymatically fragmented and size-selected in order to optimize for cDNA amplicon size. P5 and P7 sequences directed to capturing the amplicons on a sequencing flowcell (Illumina sequencing instruments) can be appended to the amplicons, i7, and i5 can be used as sample indexes, and TruSeq Read 2 can be added via End Repair, A-tailing, Adaptor Ligation, and PCR. The cDNA fragments can then be sequenced using paired-end sequencing using TruSeq Read 1 and TruSeq Read 2 as sequencing primer sites. The additional sequences are directed toward Illumina sequencing instruments or sequencing instruments that utilize those sequences; however a skilled artisan will understand that additional or alternative sequences used by other sequencing instruments or technologies are also equally applicable for use in the aforementioned methods.
- In some embodiments, where a sample is barcoded directly via hybridization with capture probes or analyte capture agents hybridized, bound, or associated with either the cell surface, or introduced into the cell, as described above, sequencing can be performed on the intact sample.
- A wide variety of different sequencing methods can be used to analyze barcoded analytes (e.g., the ligation product). In general, sequenced polynucleotides can be, for example, nucleic acid molecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA), including variants or derivatives thereof (e.g., single stranded DNA or DNA/RNA hybrids, and nucleic acid molecules with a nucleotide analog).
- Sequencing of polynucleotides can be performed by various systems. More generally, sequencing can be performed using nucleic acid amplification, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (e.g., digital PCR and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), quantitative PCR, real time PCR, multiplex PCR, PCR-based single plex methods, emulsion PCR), and/or isothermal amplification. Non-limiting examples of methods for sequencing genetic material include, but are not limited to, DNA hybridization methods (e.g., Southern blotting), restriction enzyme digestion methods, Sanger sequencing methods, next-generation sequencing methods (e.g., single-molecule real-time sequencing, nanopore sequencing, and Polony sequencing), ligation methods, and microarray methods.
- A population of cells is cultured in an in vitro system (e.g., in a 6-well plate) in growth media known in the art (e.g., media comprising 1x DMEM and 10% fetal bovine serum). The cells are washed using 1x PBS and are trypsinized, allowing for separation of cells. Viability of cells is measured using methods known in the art (e.g., using trypan blue). Cells are filtered through a mold to allow for individual placement onto an array. The array comprises a plurality of capture probes.
- After adhering the cells onto the array, the cells are imaged. In some instances, the cells are incubated with detectable markers in order to phenotypically analyze the cell. Cells are imaged using brightfield or fluorescent microscopy.
- Cells printed onto an array are permeabilized using a solution comprising proteinase K, and analytes are captured by capture probes on the array. Analytes that hybridize to the capture probes are then extended. The extended capture probes are denatured. Denatured, extended capture probes are indexed and the amplified libraries are subjected to quality control before being sequenced.
- It is to be understood that while the invention has been described in conjunction with the detailed description thereof, the foregoing description is intended to illustrate and not limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims. Other aspects, advantages, and modifications are within the scope of the following claims.
