Single-Cell Sequencing
定义 Definition
单细胞测序:一种在单个细胞水平上进行 DNA 或 RNA 测序的技术,用于揭示细胞间的差异与异质性(常见形式包括单细胞 RNA 测序、单细胞 DNA 测序等)。
发音 Pronunciation (IPA)
/ˈsɪŋɡəl sɛl ˈsiːkwənsɪŋ/
例句 Examples
Single-cell sequencing helps scientists see differences between individual cells.
单细胞测序帮助科学家观察单个细胞之间的差异。
Using single-cell sequencing, researchers mapped tumor heterogeneity and identified rare cell populations linked to drug resistance.
借助单细胞测序,研究人员绘制了肿瘤异质性图谱,并识别出与耐药相关的稀有细胞群体。
词源 Etymology
该短语由 single-cell(单个细胞) 与 sequencing(测序) 组合而成。随着高通量测序与微流控、条形码标记等方法的发展,研究从“群体平均”(bulk sequencing)逐步转向解析“单细胞层面”的分子信息,因此形成并普及了这一术语。
