By analyzing single cells in whole blood samples, researchers have discovered disease biomarkers, identified new drug targets, and monitored therapeutic responses. Scientists running long-term clinical research studies often store their samples with refrigeration or cryopreservation—conditions that could influence downstream single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.
