Analysis of single-cell genome sequences of bacteria and archaea

Emerg Top Life Sci. 2017 Nov 14;1(3):249-255. doi: 10.1042/ETLS20160028.

Abstract

Single-cell genome sequencing of individual archaeal and bacterial cells is a vital approach to decipher the genetic makeup of uncultured microorganisms. With this review, we describe single-cell genome analysis with a focus on the unique properties of single-cell sequence data and with emphasis on quality assessment and assurance.

Keywords: assembly; genome sequence; quality control; single cell.
