What is a single cell core?

A Single Cell Core is a specialized facility within a research institution that provides expertise, equipment, and services for single-cell genomics and related technologies. These cores support researchers in isolating, processing, and analyzing individual cells to better understand cellular heterogeneity in complex tissues. Services may include single-cell RNA sequencing, library preparation, data analysis, and consultation. Single Cell Cores are essential for advancing research in fields such as cancer biology, immunology, and developmental biology.
