Samenvatting	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 variant calling is a bioinformatics pipeline that identifies DNA sequence variants — single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions and deletions, and copy-number alterations — within individual cells rather than across a bulk tissue mixture. By resolving the mutational landscape cell by cell, it reveals intra-tumoral heterogeneity, clonal architecture, and somatic mutation patterns that bulk sequencing obscures. The approach is central to cancer genomics, developmental biology, and any study where cell-to-cell genetic diversity is the primary question.
