Collective signalling drives rapid jumping between cell states. Collective signalling drives rapid jumping between cell states

A continuous single cell transcriptomic time course of Dictyostelium discoideum early development. Overall design: To capture development in a continuous manner, we collected cells from plaques of cells feeding on their bacterial food source. We collected a continuous streak of cells, from the bacterial zone through to the mounds, then generated single cell transcriptomes for 5329 cells.
