Population transcriptomics with single-cell resolution: A new field made possible by microfluidics: A technology for high throughput transcript counting and data-driven definition of cell types

Tissues contain complex populations of cells. Like countries, which are comprised of mixed populations of people, tissues are not homogeneous. Gene expression studies that analyze entire populations of cells from tissues as a mixture are blind to this diversity. Thus, critical information is lost wh...
