Studying complex biological systems such as a developing embryo, a tumor, or a microbial ecosystem often involves understanding the behavior and heterogeneity of the individual cells that constitute the system and their interactions. In this review, we discuss a variety of approaches to single-cell genomic analysis.
研究复杂的生物系统,如发育中的胚胎、肿瘤或微生物生态系统,通常需要了解构成系统的单个细胞的行为和异质性及其相互作用。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了多种单细胞基因组分析方法。
