Drug discovery is a powerful tool for single-cell transcription profiling

A foundation of the process of drug discovery— high-performance screening — is full of limitations. Sci-Plex, a new technique, uses nuclear hashing to profile and quantify gene expression in single cells in response to thousands of independent single-cell resolution disruptions. The technology is promising for the discovery of cancer drugs, disease, prenatal medicine, and other work.
