Single 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 previo...
