Abstract:

Single-cell transcriptome sequencing technology(scRNA-seq) can identify individual cell types and cell states with high-precision resolution, breaking the dilemma that ordinary transcriptome sequencing unable to probe the specific expression characteristics of target cells, and playing an important role in the exploration of various fields, which is now widely used in many fields, such as human and mouse developmental biology, oncology, immunology, complex diseases, intestinal microbiome and clinical applications. In recent years, scRNA-seq has also carried out some pioneering research in the field of animal husbandry, mainly focusing on animal reproductive performance, embryonic development, analysis of key traits, etc. However, the application of scRNA-seq in other fields remains to be in-depth compared to its application in humans. In this paper, workflow of scRNA-seq and its application in domesticated animals is reviewed, intending to provide a reference for improving the efficiency of scRNA-seq analysis and its innovative application in domesticated animals.

Key words: single-cell, transcriptome sequencing, domesticated animals
