Transcriptomic profiling of individual bacteria

Caption

The cartoon illustrates how single-cell transcriptomics works: all mRNA molecules are recorded and characterized from countless bacterial cells, which are shown here in survival size on a conveyor belt through the laboratory. This reveals which genes are currently active in the individual bacteria.
