Single-cell RNA sequencing allows characterizing cell-to-cell heterogeneity at transcriptome scale. Here, the authors present an approach that enables microRNA and mRNA sequencing in the same single cell, providing insights into the origins of non-genetic cellular variability and mechanisms of miRNA regulation.
