Single-cell transcriptomic methods allow scientists to study thousands of individual cells from living organisms, one-by-one, and sequence each cell s genetic material. Genes are activated differently in each cell type, giving rise to cell types such as neurons, skin cells and muscle cells.
Single-cell transcriptomics allows scientists to identify the genes that are active in each individual cell type, and discover how these genetic differences change cellular identity and function. Careful study of this data can allow new cell types to be discovered, including previously unobserved stem cells, and help scientists trace complex developmental processes. Single-cell transcriptomics have revolutionised biology but are still an area in active development, explains Helena Garcia Castro, a PhD student in the Department of Biological and Medical Science at Oxford Brookes University and co-author of the paper.

Oxford [UK], April 8 (ANI): Single-cell transcriptomics allows scientists to identify the genes that are active in each individual cell type, and discover how these genetic differences change cellular identity and function.
The findings of a new study published in Genome Biology suggest that careful study of this data can allow new cell types to be discovered, including previously unobserved stem cells, and help scientists trace complex developmental processes.

A free, three day mini-festival showcasing the past, present and future of feminist publishing and creativity
This is a live online event. You only need to book once to receive a separate link for each event. Links to join sessions will be sent to bookers in advance, and they will remain available to view for seven days. Watch as many or few as you want. Everything is free.
Our fantastic line up of practical workshops and energising talks will ignite your creative feminist visions. Meet Virago chair Lennie Goodings, Dialogue Books publisher Sharmaine Lovegrove, Crystal Mahey-Morgan from Own It! literary agency, Kate Macdonald of Handheld Press, Sofia Niazi from
