What a Single Cell Can Tell You: Exploring Gene Expression and Regulation of Single Cells

RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a fundamental technique for transcriptome profiling, facilitating the detection of gene expression changes across sample groups. Traditional RNA-Seq of complex tissues, however, is not capable of deciphering the unique biological processes that take place within each cell. As such, single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) has emerged for the analysis of RNA molecules from individual cells, uncovering detailed insights that are unobtainable through bulk RNA-Seq.

More to Learn from ESR1 Using ctDNA Analysis

Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutations in breast tumors were first identified nearly 30 years ago. Since then, technology has evolved, as has our understanding of the impact these mutations have on tumor cell physiology. Given the dynamic nature of ESR1 mutation acquisition and enrichment, ctDNA samples appear to be the most robust source for analysis. Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) enables rapid, highly sensitive, cost-effective analysis of ctDNA, providing a powerful tool for this critical area of cancer research.
