Deep learning for single-cell sequencing: a microscope to see the diversity of cells

The history of each living being is written in its genome, which is stored as DNA and present in nearly every cell of the body. No two cells are the same, even if they share the same DNA and cell type, as they still differ in the regulators that control how DNA is expressed by the cell. The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs spread over 23 chromosomes. Within this vast genetic code, there are approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes, constituting the protein-coding DNA and accounting for ...
