Low-coverage single-cell mRNA sequencing reveals cellular heterogeneity and activated signaling pathways in developing cerebral cortex.

Updated August 30, 2022

The authors captured 301 single cells from 11 populations using microfluidics and analyzing single-cell transcriptomes across downsampled sequencing depths. They demonstrate that shallow single-cell mRNA sequencing (∼50,000 reads per cell) is sufficient for unbiased cell-type classification and biomarker identification in the developing cortex.
