Scalable Single-Cell DNA Analysis for Precision Medicine
With NGS costs dropping, large-scale, single-cell heterogeneity studies now offer great promise to move precision medicine forward in complex diseases characterized by clonally diverse cell populations. Scalable and highly sensitive single-cell DNA analysis enables insights missed by conventional bulk sequencing to impact patient stratification, therapy selection, and disease monitoring.
