With new 'shuffling' trick, researchers can measure gene activity in single cells

With new 'shuffling' trick, researchers can measure gene activity in single cells 03/19/2018 10:50 AM EDT Researchers at the University of Washington and the Allen Institute for Brain Science have developed a new method to classify and track the multitude of cells in a tissue sample. The team reports that this new approach -- known as SPLiT-seq -- reliably tracks gene activity in a tissue down to the level of single cells.
