Abstract
Single-cell genomics provide researchers with tools to assess host-pathogen interactions at a resolution previously inaccessible. Transcriptome analysis, epigenome analysis, and immune profiling techniques allow for a better comprehension of the heterogeneity underlying both the host response and infectious agents. Here, we highlight technological advancements and data analysis workflows that increase our understanding of host-pathogen interactions at the single-cell level. We review various studies that have used these tools to better understand host-pathogen dynamics in a variety of infectious disease contexts, including viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases. We conclude by discussing how single-cell genomics can advance our understanding of host-pathogen interactions.
期刊介绍：
Microbes and Infection publishes 10 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of infection and immunity, covering the different levels of host-microbe interactions, and in particular:
the molecular biology and cell biology of the crosstalk between hosts (human and model organisms) and microbes (viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi), including molecular virulence and evasion mechanisms.
the immune response to infection, including pathogenesis and host susceptibility.
emerging human infectious diseases.
systems immunology.
molecular epidemiology/genetics of host pathogen interactions.
microbiota and host "interactions".
vaccine development, including novel strategies and adjuvants.
Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials and biomarker studies in infectious diseases are within the scope of the journal.
Microbes and Infection publishes articles on human pathogens or pathogens of model systems. However, articles on other microbes can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. Purely descriptive and preliminary studies are discouraged.
