Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed exploration into how cells within the same tissue can behave differently, or how certain diseases can arise from subtle cellular differences.
“It’s kind of crazy that we used to do bulk measurements,” Serge Saxonov, PhD, CEO of 10x Genomics, told GEN at the AACR meeting in April. “Biology happens at the level of single cells—not weird mixtures of them.”
Over that same time, the amount of single-cell data being generated has grown both cumulatively and per experiment. The largest project in the field has been driven by the International Human Cell Atlas Consortium (HCA), founded in 2016. Since its inception, the HCA has grown into a global and grassroots collaborative consortium of nearly 4000 members that hail…
