Implementation and validation of single-cell genomics experiments in neuroscience.

Single-cell or single-nucleus transcriptomics is a powerful tool for identifying cell types and cell states. The choice of validation depends on numerous factors.

• 1 However, hypotheses derived from these assays, including gene expression information, require validation, and their functional relevance needs to be established.
• 2 The choice of validation depends on numerous factors.
• 3 Here, we present types of orthogonal and functional validation experiment to strengthen preliminary findings obtained using single-cell and single-nucleus transcriptomics as well as the challenges and limitations of these approaches.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
