Abstract

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) technologies are changing the way we study populations of cells by allowing for an unbiased characterization of the composition of these populations. This Forum article highlights outstanding questions in parasitology that could benefit from scRNAseq and provides guiding thoughts for planning such experiments.
