SCDY
SCDY, or Single-Cell Direct Sequencing, is a cutting-edge technology in the field of genomics that allows for the direct sequencing of DNA from individual cells. Unlike traditional bulk sequencing methods, which analyze DNA from a mixture of cells, SCDY provides a more detailed and accurate representation of genetic information at the single-cell level. This approach is particularly valuable in studying heterogeneous cell populations, such as those found in tumors, where different cells may have distinct genetic profiles.
The process of SCDY involves isolating individual cells and then sequencing their DNA directly. This can be
One of the primary advantages of SCDY is its ability to detect rare genetic variants that might
However, SCDY also presents challenges, such as the technical difficulty of isolating and sequencing individual cells
