Single Cell Sequencing – the Current Players
Normally, a mix of millions of cells is analyzed using traditional DNA or RNA sequencing methods via Sanger sequencing or high-throughput synthesis. But now, with single cell sequencing, we can investigate DNA and RNA from a single cell, unraveling cellular functions one base pair at a time. The single cell method is unlike traditional sequencings, which only provide an average expression of multiple cells, single cell sequencing brings a more precise assessment of each cell’s transcriptome.
