Abstract
T cells are dynamically regulated immune cells that are implicated in a variety of diseases ranging from infection, cancer and autoimmunity. Recent advancements in sequencing methods have provided valuable insights in the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of T cells in various disease settings. In this review, we identify the key sequencing-based methods that have been applied to understand the transcriptomic and epigenomic regulation of T cells in diseases.
期刊介绍:
npj Systems Biology and Applications is an online Open Access journal dedicated to publishing the premier research that takes a systems-oriented approach. The journal aims to provide a forum for the presentation of articles that help define this nascent field, as well as those that apply the advances to wider fields. We encourage studies that integrate, or aid the integration of, data, analyses and insight from molecules to organisms and broader systems. Important areas of interest include not only fundamental biological systems and drug discovery, but also applications to health, medical practice and implementation, big data, biotechnology, food science, human behaviour, broader biological systems and industrial applications of systems biology.
We encourage all approaches, including network biology, application of control theory to biological systems, computational modelling and analysis, comprehensive and/or high-content measurements, theoretical, analytical and computational studies of system-level properties of biological systems and computational/software/data platforms enabling such studies.
