    Abstract: In shotgun proteomics, generally only a fraction of peptides from a parent protein are actually detected. Because a large portion of the protein sequence is not detected, it is often impossible to determine whether the expressed protein is present in a modified, spliced, or truncated form. Provided herein are methods and systems for analyzing polypeptides which allow for the increase of the mean sequence coverage of a protein concomitant with bioinformatics analysis in order to distinguish putative proteoforms with improved amino acid resolution. Aspects of the invention include (1) a deep sequencing strategy to provide more protein sequence coverage than is typically achieved, and (2) a computational approach to view protein expression across its full length and identify regions of the protein that are potentially subject to such regulation. This technology has global utility in proteomics and will be of particular use for the analysis of biosimilar protein drug therapeutics.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and compositions for generating a high-resolution spatial map of a distribution of targets of a sample are described. Processes for generating the spatial map can include: receiving the sample at a substrate having a distribution of functionalized particles, each having a stochastic barcode sequence paired with a position on the substrate; promoting interactions between the distribution of targets of the sample and the distribution of functionalized particles upon transmitting heat to a surface of the substrate opposite the distribution of functionalized particles; applying a set of reactions to the sample at the substrate, obtaining a set of sequences of a population of molecules generated from the set of reactions, the set of sequences associated with the distribution of targets labeled using the stochastic barcode sequences of the distribution of functionalized particles, and returning a set of positions of the distribution of targets upon processing the set of sequences.
