Single-cell transcriptomics for microbial eukaryotes
One of the greatest hindrances to a comprehensive understanding of microbial genomics, cell biology, ecology, and evolution is that most microbial life is not in culture. Solutions to this problem have mainly focused on whole-community surveys like metagenomics, but these analyses inevitably loose information and present particular challenges for eukaryotes, which are relatively rare and posses...
متن کاملSlingshot: Cell lineage and pseudotime inference for single-cell transcriptomics
Single-cell transcriptomics allows researchers to investigate complex communities of heterogeneous cells. These methods can be applied to stem cells and their descendants in order to chart the progression from multipotent progenitors to fully differentiated cells. While a number of statistical and computational methods have been proposed for analyzing cell lineages, the problem of accurately ch...
متن کاملMoore's Law in Single Cell Transcriptomics
The ability to measure the transcriptomes of single cells has only been feasible for a few years, and is becoming an extremely popular assay. While many types of analysis and questions can be answered using single cell RNA-sequencing, a central focus is the ability to survey the diversity of cell types within a sample. Unbiased and reproducible cataloging of distinct cell types requires large n...
متن کاملSingle Cell Transcriptomics: Methods and Applications
Traditionally, gene expression measurements were performed on "bulk" samples containing populations of thousands of cells. Recent advances in genomic technology have made it possible to measure gene expression in hundreds of individual cells at a time. As a result, cellular properties that were previously masked in "bulk" measurements can now be observed directly. In this review, we will survey...
متن کاملSingle-Cell Transcriptomics Bioinformatics and Computational Challenges
The emerging single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) technology holds the promise to revolutionize our understanding of diseases and associated biological processes at an unprecedented resolution. It opens the door to reveal intercellular heterogeneity and has been employed to a variety of applications, ranging from characterizing cancer cells subpopulations to elucidating tumor resistance mechanisms. ...
