State of play of single-cell sequencing technology

Extreme personalised medicine realises there is no such thing as an average cell

14-Oct-2019

Key points from article :

Single-cell sequencing can tell how individual cells in a group behave.

This technology is used by many companies to develop personalised medicine.

Highly sensitive and has the ability to detect rare cell types from limited amounts of sample material.

Single-cell collection is tricky, data analysis is complex and the sequencing procedure is very costly.

Its potential for research, drug discovery, and diagnostics is huge, but need more investments.
