Single-Cell Sequencing to Unveil the Mystery of Embryonic Development.

Embryonic development is a fundamental physiological process that can provide tremendous insights into stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. In this process, cell fate decision is highly heterogeneous and dynamic, and investigations at the single-cell level can greatly facilitate the understanding of the molecular roadmap of embryonic development. Rapid advances in the technology of single-cell sequencing offer a perfectly useful tool to fulfill this purpose.
