As we enter this new year, many of us are happy to leave 2020 behind. But while the last year was fraught with challenges, it also reminded us of the vital importance of science. At Mission Bio, we remain steadfast in our mission to help researchers unravel the complexity of cancer, and we applaud the cancer research that was accomplished in 2020 using our innovative single-cell multi-omics platform, Tapestri.
This past year, researchers gained a deeper understanding of various hematological malignancies using the Tapestri Platform. Several studies elucidated how tumors evolve and develop resistance to treatments. Additionally, single-cell multi-omics analysis revealed new genotype-phenotype correlations in acute myeloid leukemia (Miles et al., Morita et al., Demaree et al.), and Tapestri has also facilitated high-throughput single-cell analysis of genome editing for the first time (ten Hacken et al.).
We compiled a list of publications from 2020 that utilized Tapestri technology to help better our understanding of cancers so that we can one day eradicate them. We hope you take the time to look over this impressive list and celebrate your scientific peers as we do. As we welcome 2021, we are eager to see the role that Tapestri plays in supporting even more great work from the cancer research community and remain committed to helping our customers drive progress forward toward a greater understanding of cancer and the development of new therapeutics.
