Lab on a Chip is delighted to share with you our Thematic Collection on droplet-based single-cell sequencing.
The droplet-based single-cell sequencing field is advancing very rapidly. Large numbers of studies are underway to collect and explore the new information that is now accessible with single-cell RNA-seq. Improvements to the microfluidics are also advancing rapidly. This collection of papers and reviews focusses on the between the technological advancements and high impact applications of droplet-based single-cell sequencing.
This topical and exciting collection is collated by Thought leader Dave Weitz and the Lab on a Chip Editorial Board. The collection is introduced in a perspective on single cell sequencing by the Thought leader Dave Weitz, and in two editorials, one on “InDrops and Drop-seq” by Allon Klein and Evan Macosko and one on “an engineer and business person’s perspective” by businessman and engineer Mark Gilligan.
