概要	Single-cell microbiome diversity analysis resolves the composition and functional heterogeneity of microbial communities at the level of individual cells or bacteria. By combining single-cell or single-bacterium isolation with high-throughput sequencing, this pipeline overcomes the averaging effect of bulk metagenomics, enabling detection of rare strains, intra-species variation, and cell-to-cell heterogeneity within complex microbiomes such as the gut, oral cavity, or environmental samples.	Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis characterises gene expression at the resolution of individual cells, enabling discovery of cell types, states, and transitions that are invisible in bulk transcriptomics. Starting from raw sequencing reads, the workflow produces a cell-by-gene count matrix and proceeds through quality control, normalisation, dimensionality reduction, unsupervised clustering, cell-type annotation, and a range of downstream analyses such as trajectory inference and differential expression between cell populations.
