A method for determining the numbers of targets in a sample, comprising:
- barcoding copies of a first plurality of targets using a first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes associated with a synthetic particle to generate copies of a first plurality of barcoded targets;
- barcoding copies of a second plurality of targets in a sample using a second plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes associated with the synthetic particle to generate copies of a second plurality of barcoded targets,
- wherein each of the first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes and the second plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes comprises an identical cellular label sequence and a molecular label sequence,
- wherein at least 10 of the first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes and the second plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes comprise different molecular label sequences,
- wherein each of the first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes comprises a target-binding region, and
- wherein each of the second plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes comprises a target-specific target-binding region;
- and
- estimating the number of each of the first plurality of targets and the second plurality of targets using the molecular label sequences of the first plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes and the second plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes.
