Сводка	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.	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.
