NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Researchers led by a group at Spain's National Center for Genomic Analysis-Center for Genomic Regulation (CNAG-CRG) have developed a new analytical tool that enables large-scale processing of single-cell sequencing data.

While a wide range of existing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) approaches has allowed researchers to simultaneously process thousands of cells, current analytical tools cannot keep up with the large datasets created by these experiments and frequently lack sensitivity to find marker genes.
