What are the differences between a single cell and cell population?
A. When studing a cell population, we can only take the average of all of the cells expression. This way of studying an organism is synonymous with studying humans using millions as the smallest unit. However, it is often the uniquness of a specific individual that reveals the most information. Assuming that the technical aspects of single cell study can be soon overcome, we believe that to truly understand the minute details of research requires precise work on single cell research. Our project can aid this research by providing control over the cell’s actions.
