More of less: Novel multi-ome profiling of single human neurons

Abstract

Epigenetic modifications to DNA and chromatin interact to influence gene expression and cellular phenotypes, but defining these omics layers in complex tissues is a daunting task. In this issue of Cell Genomics, Luo et al. describe a novel single-cell multi-omic method, simultaneously profiling transcriptome, DNA methylome, and chromatin accessibility, to shed light on human neurons.
