    Abstract: The invention(s) cover systems and methods for target detection in a multiplexed and rapid manner. Embodiments of the system can include: a base substrate; and an array of sample processing regions defined at a broad surface of the base substrate, wherein each of the array of sample processing regions includes: a set of microwell subarrays arranged in a gradient by volumetric capacity between an upstream end and a downstream end of each respective sample processing region, and a boundary separating each respective sample processing region from adjacent sample processing regions. The system can support methods, with example implementation by an automated platform, for returning preliminary results from a subset of microwells of the samples processing regions, as well as results pertaining to specific and non-specific amplification, for multiple targets of a sample.

    Abstract: A method of maintaining contiguity in chromosomal DNA following treatment with a tagmentase. Conditions are selected such that the tagmentase does not release from the DNA, and thus forms a bridge linking DNA segments that have the same relationship (haplotype) as occurred in the genomic DNA. Thus the tagmentase step can occur in bulk (before partitions are formed). The resulting tagmentase-bridged DNA segments can be added to partitions maintaining the bridged segments until they are introduced into different partitions. Once in partitions, the contiguous DNA segments can be barcoded with a partition-specific barcode, thereby allowing for later identification of contiguous DNA after sequencing in bulk (after partitions contents are merged).
