Single-Cell Genomics for Virology
Single-cell sequencing technologies, i.e., single cell analysis followed by deep sequencing investigate cellular heterogeneity in many biological settings. It was only in the past year that single-cell sequencing analyses has been applied in the field of virology, providing new ways to explore viral diversity and cell response to viral infection, which are summarized in the present review.
متن کاملFunction-driven single-cell genomics
Even prior to observing the great plate anomaly, one of the most enduring questions in microbial ecology has been, ‘who is there, and what are they doing?’. While we are still far from getting a true handle on microbial diversity on this planet, the ‘who’ has become easier to address, with the rise of environmental surveys of 16S ribosomal RNA sequences in the 1990s, allowing charting of commun...
متن کاملWiretapping into microbial interactions by single cell genomics
Citation: Stepanauskas R (2015) Wiretapping into microbial interactions by single cell genomics. Front. Microbiol. 6:258. Over the past decade, single cell genomics (SCG) made a swift transition from science fiction to a handy new tool in the biologist's toolset. The power of this technology lies in its ability to retrieve information-rich genomic blueprints from the most fundamental units of b...
متن کاملSingle-cell genomics: defining microbiology's dark matter.
We all remember this experiment from freshman biology: Take a sterile swab, rub it along the inside of your cheek, and transfer the collected microbes to a sterile agar plate. After incubating the plate overnight at 37 °C, the agar will be awash in bacterial colonies, a glossy and somewhat smelly testament to the fact that humans, fundamentally, are giant microbial buses. Yet that picture, it t...
متن کاملBarcode identification for single cell genomics
Single-cell sequencing experiments use short DNA barcode ‘tags’ to identify reads that originate from the same cell. In order to recover single-cell information from such experiments, reads must be grouped based on their barcode tag, a crucial processing step that precedes other computations. However, this step can be difficult due to high rates of mismatch and deletion errors that can afflict ...
