Abstract |
Single-cell sequencing interrogates the sequence or chromatin information from individual cells with advanced next-generation sequencing technologies. It provides a higher resolution of cellular differences and a better understanding of the underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of an individual cell in the context of its survival and adaptation to microenvironment. However, it is more challenging to perform single-cell sequencing and downstream data analysis, owing to the minimal amount of starting materials, sample loss, and contamination. In addition, due to the picogram level of the amount of nucleic acids used, heavy amplification is often needed during sample preparation of single-cell sequencing, resulting in the uneven coverage, noise, and inaccurate quantification of sequencing data. All these unique properties raise challenges in and thus high demands for computational methods that specifically fit single-cell sequencing data. We here comprehensively survey the current strategies and challenges for multiple single-cell sequencing, including single-cell transcriptome, genome, and epigenome, beginning with a brief introduction to multiple sequencing techniques for single cells. |
