Science Magazine has chosen single-cell analyses of gene activity through time as its 2018 Breakthrough of the Year. This one-day workshop aims at an introduction to an up-and-coming topic (cf “Human Cell Atlas”, “LifeTime”) for which data analysis is a major challenge, given the amount and scope of the datasets being generated. While currently still basic research, clinical applications are around the corner. A specific emphasis is given to longitudinal datasets, which are especially suitable for studying the development of disease and progression of aging processes. The workshop is co-sponsored by the German Stem Cell Network (GSCN).
