Application of single cell sequencing technology in ovarian cancer research (review)

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor of ovary. It has the characteristics of difficult early diagnosis, poor late curative effect and high recurrence rate. It is the biggest disease that seriously threatens women’s health. Single cell sequencing technology refers to sequencing the genetic information carried by it at the single cell level to obtain the gene sequence, transcript, protein and epigenetic expression profile information of a certain cell type and conduct integrated analysis. It has unique advantages in the study of tumor occurrence and evolution, and can provide new methods for the study of ovarian cancer. This paper reviews the single cell sequencing technology and its application in ovarian cancer.
