TL;DR: Drop-seq will accelerate biological discovery by enabling routine transcriptional profiling at single-cell resolution by separating them into nanoliter-sized aqueous droplets, associating a different barcode with each cell's RNAs, and sequencing them all together.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome sequence of single cells isolated from brain glioblastomas was examined, which revealed shared chromosomal changes but also extensive transcription variation, including genes related to signaling, which represent potential therapeutic targets.

TL;DR: Drop-seq as discussed by the authors analyzes mRNA transcripts from thousands of individual cells simultaneously while remembering transcripts' cell of origin, and identifies 39 transcriptionally distinct cell populations, creating a molecular atlas of gene expression for known retinal cell classes and novel candidate cell subtypes.
