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 genetic data now being generated in support of precision medicine.
Metabolomics—often referred to as the youngest of the omics—provides key insight into phenotype. However, bulk metabolomics requires the homogenization of the sample and is thus unable to discern metabolic differences at a cellular level.
Single-cell analysis has great promise… but how can we get there? by Zachary Pitluk
Calculating the true value of scientific data storage platforms is the goal of every developer. With millions of cells to analyze, digital solutions are the key
