Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Single-cell sequencing technologies have greatly enhanced our ability to characterize heterogeneous tumor and normal cell populations to understand biological processes and identify novel therapeutic targets. Computational tools have been developed in recent years; however, analysis of single-cell sequencing data remains challenging and time-consuming, especially when integrating multiple types of data. This Special Issue of Cancers is devoted to papers and reviews on the latest advances and unprecedented opportunities in single-cell data science. We invite manuscripts from authors who are interested in developing novel tools, methods, and resources, as well as those who have new insights and applications to share in this area.
Dr. Jason Roszik
