Fig. 2. Transfection programmes for 16 sequential epochs.

Fig. 2

a, Schematic of five transfection programmes over 8 or 16 epochs. For programmes 1 and 2, pegRNAs with single barcodes were introduced in each epoch for 16 epochs.The specific orders aimed to maximize (programme 1) or minimize (programme 2) the edit distances between temporally adjacent transfections. For programme 3, pegRNAs with two different barcodes were introduced at a 1:1 ratio for 16 epochs, with one barcode always shared between adjacent epochs (and between epochs 1 and 16). For programmes 4 and 5, pegRNAs with two different barcodes were introduced either at a constant ratio (1:3) or at varying ratios in each epoch (1:1, 1:2, 1:4 or 1:8) for eight epochs, respectively. b, Barcode frequencies across five insertion sites in 5×TAPE-1 in programmes 1 and 2 following epoch 16. Barcodes introduced in early epochs are more frequently observed at the first site. cg, Bigram transition matrices for programmes 1 (c), 2 (d), 3 (e), 4 (f) and 5 (g). Barcodes are ordered from early (left/top) to late (right/bottom). h, Calculated versus intended relative frequencies between programmes 4 and 5. Programme ratios were calculated by combining sequencing reads from n = 3 independent transfection experiments.
