Contaminants are substances that make something impure or undesirable. Contaminants can impact various environments such as air, water, or soil. In addition, biological samples can become contaminated compromise the results of tests perdormed in medical or research laboratories.
Revolutionary sequencing technologies are enabling whole transcriptome profiling of tens to hundreds of thousands of single cells in parallel, in a single experiment. This has led to an expl...
