    Abstract: A method of detecting the length of an individual telomere is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes contacting genomic DNA with a guide RNA having a portion complementary to a telomere repeat sequence in the genomic DNA and with Cas9 nickase to produce a single-strand break in the genomic DNA at the telomere repeat sequence. The nicked DNA is contacted with a polymerase and fluorescently labeled nucleotide, wherein the fluorescently labeled nucleotide is incorporated into the nicked DNA at the telomere repeat sequence. The genomic DNA is contacted with a second nicking endonuclease which is specific for a sequence motif in the genomic DNA thereby producing a second nick in the genomic DNA at the motif sequence. The nicked DNA is contacted with a polymerase and second fluorescently labeled nucleotide of different color, wherein the second fluorescently labeled nucleotide is incorporated into the nicked DNA at the motif sequence location. The length of the telomere is detected by measuring the fluorescence of first fluorescently labeled nucleotide at the telomere repeat location, wherein the fluorescently labeled motif sequences are used as a barcode to identify the chromosome.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and processes for increasing the efficiency and accuracy of nucleic acid sequencing using techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The methods described herein can be used to achieve clonal amplification even with a greater than Poisson distribution of beads and/or nucleic acid templates into an emulsion. A PCR method may comprise generating a partition (e.g., a droplet) comprising at least two beads and/or at least two nucleic acid molecules and generating clonal amplification products corresponding to the nucleic acid molecule, at least a subset of which may be attached to a bead.
