The last several years have seen rapid development of technologies and methods that permit a detailed analysis of the genome and transcriptome of a single cell. Recent evidence from studies of single cells reveals that each cell type has a distinct lineage and function. The lineage and stage of development of each cell determine how they respond to each other and the environment. Experimental approaches that utilize single-cell analysis are effective means to understand how cell networks work in concert to coordinate a response at the population level; recent progress in single-cell analysis is offering a glimpse at the future.
在过去几年中,能够对单个细胞的基因组和转录组进行详细分析的技术和方法得到了迅速发展。来自单细胞研究的最新证据表明,每种细胞类型都有独特的谱系和功能。每个细胞的谱系和发育阶段决定了它们如何相互作用以及对环境的反应。利用单细胞分析的实验方法是了解细胞网络如何协同工作以在群体水平上协调反应的有效手段;单细胞分析的最新进展让我们看到了未来的曙光。
