Single-cell Sequencing Ushers in a New Age of Biological Research

Early scientific discoveries led to the current understanding that tissues are composed of heterogeneous cell populations, each with its own unique genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and spatial profile. To understand the characteristics of an individual cell and its impact on health and disease, scientists developed single-cell technology. At the heart of this story, is human curiosity and the need for technology to keep pace with science.
