What are the advantages of single cell sequencing?

There are several advantages of single cell sequencing. Single-cell technologies offer advantages such as identifying variations among individual cells, creating detailed maps of cell populations, and distinguishing a limited number of cells. In specific, single-cell sequencing allows for a detailed examination of genetic, transcriptomic, or epigenetic variations at the individual cell level. Collectively, the advantage of single-cell sequencing is that it displays the identity of cell types and shows the specific contributions of individual cells to the functioning of biological systems.
