Single-cell sequencing and analysis reveals a whole world of information contained in each individual cell. Spatial technologies allow that cellular information to be mapped back to its original tissue context. The past 12 months have seen a surge in the integration of these two rapidly evolving technologies, allowing researchers to study biology and disease like never before.
In our latest report, we explore the recent advances in single-cell and spatial analysis and examine how these two high-resolution technologies are becoming more and more integrated.
