Single-Cell Sequencing : Current Applications in Precision Onco-Genomics and Cancer Therapeutics

Single-cell sequencing encompasses a variety of technologies that evaluate cells at the genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic levels. Each of these levels can be split into additional techniques that enable specific and optimized sequencing for a specialized purpose. At the transcriptomic level, single-cell sequencing has been used to understand immune-malignant cell networks, as well as differences between primary versus metastatic tumors. At the genomic and epigenomic levels, single-cell sequencing technology has been used to study genetic mutations involved in tumor evolution or the reprogramming of regulatory elements present in metastasized disease, respectively. Lastly, at the proteomic level, single-cell sequencing has been used to identify biomarkers important for predicting patient prognosis, as well as biomarkers essential for evaluating optimal treatment strategies. Integrated databases and atlases, as a result of large sequencing experiments, provide a vast array of information that can be applied to various studies and accessed by researchers to further answer scientific questions. This review summarizes recent, high-impact literature covering these aspects, as well as single-cell sequencing in the translational setting. Specifically, we review the potential that single-cell sequencing has in the clinic and its implementation in current clinical studies.
