Single cell technology has given researchers the ability to probe further, dive deeper, and answer more complex questions about the biological systems that drive human health and disease. In the past decade, scientists have discovered a wealth of information that could only be revealed by investigating biology at its smallest functional units: individual cells. The allure and potential of single cell sequencing lies in this ability to view biology at true resolution, enabling the differentiation of rare cell types, the discovery of new ones, and the deconvolution of hidden heterogeneity.
