DESCRIPTION:The great push in the 2010's of biology has been the developme
 nt of a cellular atlas that aims to create a detailed gene expression map 
 of a single cell in every tissue and determine the molecular events that l
 ead to their development or deregulation in disease.\n\n Recent advances h
 ave made it possible to quantify transcriptomes of thousands of cells in a
  single experiment. Techniques for profiling a wide range of epigenomic fe
 atures in single cells have also been developed\, which when combined with
  RNA sequencing from the same cell are powerful methods for understanding 
 the regulatory mechanisms underlying cell fates.\n \nThe speakers will dis
 cuss Drop-Seq\, a method for shallow sequencing of thousands of single cel
 ls as well as recent updates to single-cell bisulfite technology which all
 ows simultaneous profiling of DNA methylation\, chromatin accessibility an
 d gene expression.\n
