About this collection

A collection of papers focussed on multimodal single cell analysis. There is an array of tools that have the potential to allow us to comprehensively and accurately characterize the cells involved in a biological process, and we are a step away from using these tools widely and efficiently to impact clinical care, but there are large obstacles we must break down first. The papers in this collection suggest cutting edge solutions to the obstacles that we face in the advancement of multimodal single cell analysis.
