Multi-Omic approaches are a powerful way for obtaining in-depth understanding of a cell’s state. Here the authors present DISCO, combining digital microfluidics, laser cell lysis, and artificial intelligence-driven image processing to analyze single-cell genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes in a mixed population.
