The cumulative activity of all of the body’s cells, with their myriad interactions, life histories, and environmental experiences, gives rise to a condition that is distinctly human and specific to each individual. It is an enduring goal to catalog our human cell types, to understand how they develop, how they vary between individuals, and how they fail in disease. Single-cell genomics has revolutionized this endeavor because sequencing-based methods provide a means to quantitatively annotate cell states on the basis of high-information content and high-throughput measurements. Together with advances in stem cell biology and gene editing, we are in the midst of a fascinating journey to understand the cellular phenotypes that compose human bodies and how the human genome is used to build and maintain each cell. Here, we will review recent advances into how single-cell genomics is being used to develop personalized phenotyping strategies that cross subcellular, cellular, and tissue scales to link our genome to our cumulative cellular phenotypes.

AbstractSingle cell genomics (SCG) can provide reliable context for assembled genome fragments on the level of individual prokaryotic genomes and has rapidly emerged as an essential complement to cultivation-based and metagenomics research approaches. Targeted cell sorting approaches, which enable the selection of specific taxa by fluorescent labeling, compatible with subsequent single cell genomics offers an opportunity to access genetic information from rare biosphere members which would have otherwise stayed hidden as microbial dark matter.

We present a lab-on-a-chip for the next generation of single-cell genomics, performing full-cycle single-cell analysis by demonstrating mega-base pair genomic DNAs in nanochannels extracted in situ.
