Single-cell Omics

Single-cell Omics: Technological Advances and Applications provides the latest technological developments and the applications of single-cell technologies in the field of biomedicine. The advent of omics technologies have enable us to identify the differences between cell types and subpopulations at the level of the genome, proteome, transcriptome, epigenome, and in several other fields of omics. In the current era of precision medicine, the single-cell omics technology is highly promising due to its potential in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics.

The book is divided in five parts: the first one brings an overview of single-cell omics researches and applications; the second deals with the diverse technologies applied in the topic, such as pangenomics, metabolomics, and multi-omics of single cells; the third is dedicated to data analysis; the forth one discusses the several applications of single-cell omics within biomedical field, for example in cancer, metabolic and neuro diseases, immunology, pharmacogenomics, personalized medicine and reproductive health; and a final discussion on future perspectives.

This book is a valuable source for bioinformaticians, molecular diagnostic researchers, clinicians and several members of biomedical field interested in understanding more about single-cell omics and its potential for research and diagnosis.
