Pathogens often hide in just a few of a patient's trillion cells. Detecting these cells early & accurately using #singlecell sequencing opens up new possibilities for medicine. How does single-cell analysis work? Take a look at our animation by @scicomlab.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiF6...
