Summary

Automatic Translation

Single-cell sequencing reveals genotypic heterogeneity in biological systems, but current technologies lack the throughput necessary for the deep profiling of community composition and function. Here, we describe a microfluidic workflow for sequencing >50,000 single-cell genomes from diverse cell populations.
