Infographic: Single-cell analysis with nanopore sequencing

Around 15% of hereditary diseases and cancers are associated with alternative RNA splicing, while the development of 1 in 6 cancers is driven by gene fusions. Isolating RNA from individual cells is a powerful technique to investigate transcriptomic heterogeneity at the single-cell level. In this infographic, we look at the use of long nanopore sequencing reads to investigate full-length transcripts to gain a deeper understanding of disease development.
