TL;DR: A large panel of cell surface markers in skin and mammary primary tumours is screened, and the existence of multiple tumour subpopulations associated with different EMT stages are identified: from epithelial to completely mesenchymal states, passing through intermediate hybrid states.

TL;DR: 25 spatially distinct regions from seven operable NSCLCs were sequenced and found evidence of branched evolution, with driver mutations arising before and after subclonal diversification, and pronounced intratumor heterogeneity in copy number alterations, translocations, and mutations associated with APOBEC cytidine deaminase activity.

TL;DR: In this article, a new array-based method allowed screening of genome-wide copy number and loss of heterozygosity in single cells, which revealed not only mosaicism for whole-chromosome aneuploidies and uniparental disomies in most cleavage-stage embryos but also frequent segmental deletions, duplications and amplifications that were reciprocal in sister blastomeres, implying the occurrence of breakage-fusion-bridge cycles.

TL;DR: G&T-seq, a method for separating and sequencing genomic DNA and full-length mRNA from single cells, is described and cellular properties that could not be inferred from DNA or RNA sequencing alone are discovered.

TL;DR: ScM&T-seq, a method for parallel single-cell genome-wide methylome and transcriptome sequencing that allows for the discovery of associations between transcriptional and epigenetic variation, revealed previously unrecognized associations between heterogeneously methylated distal regulatory elements and transcription of key pluripotency genes.
