Probing infectious disease by single-cell RNA sequencing: Progresses and perspectives
Geyang Luo, Qian Gao, Shuye Zhang, Bo Yan
Abstract
The increasing application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology in life science and biomedical research has significantly increased our understanding of the cellular heterogeneities in immunology, oncology and developmental biology. This review will summarize the development of various scRNA-seq technologies; primarily discussing the application of scRNA-seq on infectious diseases, and exploring the current development, challenges, and potential applications of scRNA-seq technology in the future.
