Abstract

Provided herein are methods and composition for immune repertoire sequencing and single cell barcoding. The methods and compositions can be used to pair any two sequences originating from a single cell, such as heavy and light chain antibody sequences, alpha and beta chain T-cell receptor sequences, or gamma and delta chain T-cell receptor sequences, for antibody and T-cell receptor discovery, disease and immune diagnostics, and low error sequencing.
