The present disclosure provides systems and methods for detecting components of an array of biological, chemical, or physical entities. In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for detecting an array of biological, chemical, or physical entities, comprising: (a) using one or more light sensing devices, acquiring pixel information from sites in an array, wherein the sites comprise biological, chemical, or physical entities that produce light; (b) processing the pixel information to identify a set of regions of interest (ROIs) corresponding to the sites in the array that produce the light; (c) classifying the pixel information for the ROIs into a categorical classification from among a plurality of distinct categorical classifications, thereby producing a plurality of pixel classifications; and (d) identifying one or more components of the array of biological, chemical, or physical entities based at least in part on the plurality of pixel classifications.

Methods and systems for computational decoding of biological, chemical, and physical entities

Methods and systems are provided for accurate and efficient identification and quantification of proteins. In an aspect, disclosed herein is a method for identifying a protein in a sample of unknown proteins, comprising receiving information of a plurality of empirical measurements performed on the unknown proteins; comparing the information of empirical measurements against a database comprising a plurality of protein sequences, each protein sequence corresponding to a candidate protein among a plurality of candidate proteins; and for each of one or more of the plurality of candidate proteins, generating a probability that the candidate protein generates the information of empirical measurements, a probability that the plurality of empirical measurements is not observed given that the candidate protein is present in the sample, or a probability that the candidate protein is present in the sample; based on the comparison of the information of empirical measurements against the database.

Decoding approaches for protein identification

Systems and methods for obtaining qualitative or quantitative measurements of proteoforms of polypeptides are described. The described methods include measurements of affinity reagent binding on single-molecule polypeptide arrays to distinguish between polypeptide isoforms. The described methods may provide high resolution quantitative comparisons of proteoforms with very low copy numbers.

Systems and methods for biomolecule quantitation

Methods and systems are provided herein for selecting an affinity reagent which binds a desired peptide epitope in a plurality of sequence contexts. The method relies on obtaining a peptide library, each peptide having the sequence αXβ, wherein X is the desired peptide epitope, wherein each of α and β comprise an amino acid, using the peptide library to select an affinity reagent.
