Gleich und doch verschieden: bakterieller Genexpression auf der Spur
摘要
Bacterial populations often appear homogeneous, yet individual cells can differ greatly in their gene activity. New single-cell transcriptomics methods now make it possible to reveal this functional diversity. Highly sensitive approaches such as MATQ-seq enable the detection of hundreds of genes per bacterium and open new possibilities for studying rare cell states and microbial dynamics.
