Single-cell and spatial omics technologies in plant science
Recent technological advances in single-cell and spatial omics have revolutionised how we study biology by enabling researchers to see what used to be hidden behind the heterogeneity within the tissue. Recently, such technologies have been readily applied to study plants.
This webinar with Tatsuya Nobori, Salk Institute, recorded on 22 March 2023, showcases the application of single-cell multi-omics (transcriptome and epigenome) and spatial transcriptomics in plant research, focusing on the development of a plant cell atlas and the understanding of plant-microbe interactions.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of the video you will be able to:
- Choose appropriate single-cell technologies for your research question
- Explore single-cell transcriptome, epigenome, and spatial transcriptome data
From single-cell level studies in this section, we move on to the next section which introduces plant-environment interaction dynamics and how to quantify them.
