Are cells from a snowman realistic? Cryopreserved tissues as a source for single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments

Felipe A Vieira Braga et al. Genome Biol. .

Abstract

A recently published study in Genome Biology shows that cells isolated from cryopreserved tissues are a reliable source of genetic material for single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments.Please see related Method article: http://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-017-1171-9.
