Single Cell Sequencing
Single cell sequencing is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) method that examines the genomes or transcriptomes of individual cells, giving a high-resolution view of cell-to-cell variation. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies allow the dissection of gene expression at single-cell resolution, which greatly revolutionizes transcriptomic studies.
