1. A method for identifying a transcriptome change in a cell induced by a compound, the method comprising:
a) generating an assay array wherein said array comprises:
i) a plurality of confined volumes wherein each confined volume is separated from the other confined volumes and wherein each confined volume comprises at least one cell;
ii) a plurality of beads where each bead comprises the compound and a plurality of first functionalized oligonucleotides, wherein each first functionalized oligonucleotide comprises a capture sequence and an oligonucleotide portion that encodes a structure of the compound or the synthetic steps used to make said compound, wherein a single bead is disposed in each confined volume;
b) contacting the at least one cell in each confined volume with the compound released into the confined volume from the bead; and
c) capturing RNA from the at least one cell in each confined volume by lysing the at least one cell and contacting the RNA with the capture sequence on said bead or with a second functionalized oligonucleotide.
