Single-cell sequencing techniques are providing significant advances across a broad swath of fields
Until recently, scientists studying multicellular organisms at the cellular level had one big problem: their techniques did not allow them to account for cell-to-cell variation. That’s because the technology required the use of bulk tissue samples and results could only be interpreted as an average of the cells in a sample. But today, due to advances in analytic methods developed over the past 10 years, scientists routinely conduct research of individual cells.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses, Immunology & Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
