Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of single-cell omics analysis, and more particularly to a cell-microbead paired capture method applied to single-cell omics analysis. Background technique [0002] Cells are the basic structural and functional units of organisms, and multicellular organisms are composed of various cells with different morphological functions. Cellular heterogeneity is a ubiquitous biological phenomenon, and even cells that appear to be identical may exhibit significant heterogeneity. Therefore, it is necessary to study the heterogeneity of cells at the single-cell level. It is necessary to establish a research platform to effectively analyze the chemical information of single cells, or to measure the response of single cells to external stimuli, so that people can fully understand the cell population. It can identify a small number of abnormal cells in a large number of cell populations, and provide a reliable scientific basis for th...
