Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) technologies are changing the way we study populations of cells by allowing for an unbiased characterization of the composition of these populations. This Forum article highlights outstanding questions in parasitology that could benefit from scRNAseq and provides guiding thoughts for planning such experiments.
单细胞 RNA 测序 (scRNAseq) 技术正在改变我们研究细胞群体的方式,因为它可以对这些群体的组成进行无偏倚的描述。这篇论坛文章强调了寄生虫学中可以受益于 scRNAseq 的突出问题,并为规划此类实验提供了指导思路。
