single-cell RNA-seq
Definition
A sequencing technology that profiles gene expression at the resolution of individual cells rather than bulk tissue. scRNA-seq reveals cellular heterogeneity, identifies rare cell types, reconstructs developmental trajectories, and characterizes tumor microenvironments. Technologies include 10x Genomics Chromium, Drop-seq, and Smart-seq2.
In Practice
single-cell RNA-seq is widely used in sequencing and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
