1. A method of analyzing nucleic acids from cells, comprising:
- (a) providing nucleic acids derived from an individual cell and oligonucleotides having a common barcode sequence into a discrete partition, wherein the oligonucleotides are releasably attached to a bead;
(b) generating one or more first nucleic acid sequences derived from the nucleic acids within the discrete partition, which one or more first nucleic acid sequences have attached thereto oligonucleotides that comprise the common nucleic acid barcode sequence;
(c) generating a characterization of the one or more first nucleic acid sequences or one or more second nucleic acid sequences derived from the one or more first nucleic acid sequences, which one or more second nucleic acid sequences comprise the common barcode sequence; and
(d) identifying the one or more first nucleic acid sequences or one or more second nucleic acid sequences as being derived from the individual cell based, at least in part, upon a presence of the common nucleic acid barcode sequence in the characterization generated in (c).

Abstract
Methods, compositions and systems for analyzing individual cells or cell populations through the partitioned analysis of contents of individual cells or cell populations. Individual cells or cell populations are co-partitioned with processing reagents for accessing cellular contents, and for uniquely identifying the contents of a given cell or cell population, and subsequently analyzing the cell'"'"'s contents and characterizing it as having derived from an individual cell or cell population, including analysis and characterization of the cell'"'"'s nucleic acids through sequencing.

74. A method of characterizing cells in a population of a plurality of different cell types, comprising:
-
(a) providing nucleic acids from individual cells in the population into discrete partitions; (b) attaching oligonucleotides that comprise a common nucleic acid barcode sequence to one or more fragments of the nucleic acids from the individual cells within the discrete partitions, wherein a plurality of different partitions comprise different common nucleic acid barcode sequences; (c) characterizing the one or more fragments of the nucleic acids from the plurality of discrete partitions, and attributing the one or more fragments to individual cells based, at least in part, upon the presence of a common barcode sequence; and (d) characterizing a plurality of individual cells in the population based upon the characterization of the one or more fragments in the plurality of discrete partitions.
