The recent surge in single-cell genomics, including the development of a wide range of experimental and computational approaches, has provided insights into the complex molecular networks of cells during development and in human diseases at unprecedented resolution. Single-cell transcriptome analysis has enabled high-resolution investigation of cellular heterogeneity in a wide range of cell populations ranging from early embryos to complex tissues-while posing the risk of only capturing a partial picture of the cells' complex molecular networks. Single-cell multiomics technologies aim to bridge this gap by providing a more holistic view of the cell by simultaneously measuring multiple molecular types from the same cell and providing a more complete view of the interactions and combined functions of multiple regulatory layers at cell-type resolution. In this review, we briefly summarized the recent advances in multimodal single-cell technologies and discussed the challenges and opportunities of the field.
最近单细胞基因组学的迅速发展,包括一系列实验和计算方法的开发,以前所未有的分辨率揭示了细胞在发育过程中和人类疾病中的复杂分子网络。单细胞转录组分析能够对从早期胚胎到复杂组织的广泛细胞群体中的细胞异质性进行高分辨率研究,同时也存在只捕捉细胞复杂分子网络部分情况的风险。单细胞多组学技术旨在通过从同一细胞中同时测量多种分子类型,以细胞类型分辨率提供多个调控层的相互作用和联合功能的更完整视图,从而弥合这一差距。在本综述中,我们简要总结了多模态单细胞技术的最新进展,并讨论了该领域的挑战和机遇。
