Time-Series Single-Cell RNA-seq Analysis — Temporal Transcriptomics at Single-Cell Resolution
Time-series single-cell RNA-seq analysis captures gene expression across multiple time points at single-cell resolution to reveal how cell populations emerge, transition, and diverge during dynamic biological processes such as development, differentiation, or disease progression. By combining pseudotime ordering, RNA velocity, and differential dynamics testing, researchers reconstruct the temporal trajectory of individual cells and identify the gene regulatory changes that drive biological transitions.
