Cell identifications
There are various types of cells which make up all the tissues of the body. Different cell types can be that can used to identify them while others take a specific shape or form which distinguishes them from other cell types. Emerging methods of cell identification involve data generated from single-cell RNA sequencing which can evaluate differences between various clusters of single cells.
