Ultrafast and reference-free sequence discovery in single-cell data

Describes a platform that enables ultrafast, reference-free search of raw single-cell and spatial transcriptomic sequences across large atlases.

Key Takeaways
  • New sequencing technologies have made possible RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)
  • Since cells are the basic units of life
  • Vast amounts of data are generated for model systems
