Single-cell analysis has great promise… but how can we get there? by Zachary Pitluk
Single-cell technologies have positioned themselves at the forefront of biomedical research. These platforms allow researchers to bypass the uncertainties of bulk data and instead interrogate biological systems at a level of detail that was previously unreachable. But the value of these systems risks being impaired by bottlenecks in data analysis
Popular opinion is that two big shifts have changed the game for bioinformatics. The first is a technology development—single cell ‘omics—that began just over 10 years ago, the other is a more recent move to a new model of drug discovery that looks to leverage the vast amounts of human
Advances in the single-cell genomic analysis of cells and tissues, including the required computational methods, have now put systematic, high-resolution and comprehensive reference maps of all human cells within our reach. Paradigm4’s Marilyn Matz, CEO and cofounder, and Dr Zachary Pitluk, VP of Life Sciences and Healthcare, report
