“…The transitions experienced by MuSCs during development and regeneration are regulated by partially overlapping and dynamic transcriptional programs (Buckingham and Relaix, 2007;Sincennes et al, 2016;Chang et al, 2018). Bulk transcriptome analyses of MuSCs have contributed important mechanistic insights by providing static snapshots of averaged gene expression (Pallafacchina et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2013;Sousa-Victor et al, 2014;Yennek et al, 2014;Ryall et al, 2015b;Alonso-Martin et al, 2016;Aguilar et al, 2016;Machado et al, 2017;van Velthoven et al, 2017;Pala et al, 2018). The granularity required to identify distinct cell types, states, and their transcriptional dynamics can, however, be provided by single cell analysis.…”
