Immunology meets single-cell sequencing

(European Molecular Biology Laboratory - European Bioinformatics Institute) A new single-cell genomics method helps determine T-cell receptor sequences and extrapolate their response to disease.The technique will help research into immune response, autoimmune disease, cancer and vaccination.Uptake enables sequencing-based understanding of which T-cell receptors recognize specific invaders -- knowledge that could be used to speed up diagnosis.
