Biomarker discovery using scRNA-seq: what's the big deal?
Biomarkers have the potential to save lives.
Biomarkers are simply measurable characteristics of organisms, so this may seem like an overstatement. However, the use of biomarkers is becoming increasingly important both in clinical research and practice.
Recently, there has been a growing interest in using single-cell technologies to identify novel biomarkers. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool for identifying gene transcripts within individual cells and can be used to detect changes in gene expression that may be indicative of disease or may predict progression or outcome.
