Cells and alleles in droplets

Two new papers from the McCarroll lab describe ways of using nanoliter droplets to answer questions in genetics and biology.  Droplets provide a way of scaling molecular biological reactions across tens of thousands of tiny reaction compartments.   In Drop-phase, Jack Regan, Nolan Kamitaki and colleagues describe a way to quickly […]
