Single-Cell Omics

Single-cell omics measures gene expression and chromatin accessibility in individual cells, bypassing the averages of bulk assays. We trace developmental lineages, map the immune microenvironment, and discover rare cell states using UMAP and clustering. This resolution reveals cellular heterogeneity in development and disease.

Overview

What this area is.

Bulk assays average over millions of cells and hide the biology that matters. Single-cell omics measures expression and chromatin per cell, revealing rare populations, transitional states and the structure of tissues.

We run the full pipeline — QC, normalisation, batch correction, clustering, UMAP embedding, annotation and trajectory inference — to turn cell-by-gene matrices into interpretable cell atlases.

Insights

Questions we answer.

A few of the things people ask about single-cell omics — and our short answers. Ask CGB-AI for more.

Why single-cell over bulk?

It exposes rare cell types, mixtures and transitions that bulk averaging erases — essential for heterogeneity and microenvironment studies.

What does UMAP show?

A 2-D map where nearby points are similar cells; clusters suggest cell types or states, validated with markers.
