Single-Cell Genomics

Single-cell genomics is transforming how we understand biology by moving beyond bulk measurements to analyze individual cells. While next-generation sequencing transformed genomics in the 2010s, the 2020s are defined by the rise of single-cell technologies.

UMGC has been a pioneer in this field since 2014, when we acquired the Fluidigm C1 platform, which could run 96 single cells at a time. Today, with dramatically improved scale, precision, and informatics, single-cell platforms now allow researchers to interrogate tens to hundreds of thousands of cells in parallel. 

Technologies

UMGC offers access to the latest single-cell technologies. We continually evaluate and adopt emerging SCG technologies to broaden applications for researchers.

What We Offer

• Dedicated, highly-trained SCG scientists who work closely with researchers to understand their project-specific requirements and provide expert guidance.
• Faster and more affordable downstream sequencing options.
• Self-service options in the UMGC CoLab with after-hours access to SCG instruments.
• Access to cell preparatory instruments to ensure that input material is of the highest quality possible.
