Barcoded droplets enable gene profiling in single cells on a large scale
June 11, 2015 7:00 AM UTC
Two groups at Harvard University have independently developed large-scale methods for analyzing gene expression characteristics of cells at a single-cell level, feeding a growing interest in cell biology for combining micro-scale detail with macro-scale throughput.
"Clearly there is a growing potential and demand for single-cell RNA sequencing," said Candia Brown, director of single cell biology at Fluidigm Corp. (NASDAQ:FLDM)...
