Researchers report a new single-cell RNA sequencing technology, single cell-digital gene expression, which can measure the transcriptome while preserving the positional information of the cell in the tissue. The technique was validated in the moss plant Physcomitrella patens by measuring how the location of a cell in a leaf influences its regenerative properties.
