Single cell sequencing is important to detect the gene heterogeneity between cells, as the part of single-cell systems biology which combines computational science, mathematical modelling and high-throughput technologies with biological function and organization in the cell. We initially arise the question how to integrate the outcomes of single-cell systems biology with clinical phenotype, interpret alterations of single-cell gene sequencing and function in patient response to therapies, and understand the significance of single-cell systems biology in the discovery and development of new molecular diagnostics and therapeutics. The present review furthermore focuses the significance of singe cell systems biology in respiratory diseases and calls the special attention from scientists who are working on single cell systems biology to improve the diagnosis and therapy for patients with lung diseases.
