Single Cell and Spatial Omics
Single cell omics analysis is an emerging discipline that stems from various “omics” technologies, particularly genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, where the sensitivity is improved to a single cell level. Applying these technologies at the single cell level is crucial since every cell is specific and unique; nearly every cell population, derived in vivo or in vitro, is heterogeneous. Single cell omics analysis is providing unprecedented resolution for the understanding of tissues and systems, and the interaction of single cells on a global scale.
Spatial omics is where the quantification of expression of large numbers of gene or proteins within the spatial context of tissues and cells is undertaken.
Join the conversation - all welcome!
We help coordinate a community for single cell and spatial omics, which aims to:
Provide a forum to:
Connect with colleagues, share knowledge and collaborate
Learn about how to leverage relevant tools and services
Identify gaps in current community scale digital infrastructure.
This approach helps us identify and deploy relevant national scale services and resources that help address these gaps.
During 2024 we will be drafting a “Single Cell and Spatial Omics Analysis Infrastructure Roadmap for Australia” which will present a vision for shared national infrastructure that will help researchers undertake single cell omics analysis.
