Single Cell Bioinformatics Software and Services Market

Author: Swati Bis

Advancements in bioanalytical technologies have helped in studying metabolites in single cells, transcripts, and proteins, which in turn empowered the ability to study cellular heterogeneity and how this heterogeneity is important to normal and impaired processes. Single-cell bioinformatics analysis is required for the normalization due to amplification biases introduced by scarce amounts of initiating DNA/RNA material. Single cell analysis aims to recognize the differences between cells. The analysis provides a new arena for bioinformatics, as bulk-cell data analysis methods may not be directly applicable to single-cell data.Researchers are generating data that have the potential to lead to unprecedented biological insight, albeit at the cost of the greater complexity of data analysis. Increasing investments in the RD of cell bioinformatics software and services and various research fundings is one of the major opportunities in the global cell bioinformatics software and services market.

The global single cell bioinformatics software and services market was estimated to be at $205.2 million in 2020, which is expected to grow with a CAGR of 10.89% and reach $634.8 million by 2031. The growth in the global single cell bioinformatics software and services market is expected to be driven by an increasing number of bioinformatics services being offered for computational analysis and a rising number of open-source free platform providers offering single cell analysis software.

Impact of COVID-19

Most of the single cell studies focused on the progression of COVID-19 and have provided important molecular and immune characteristics. Researchers have analyzed large-scale single cell integrated data, which included single cell sequencing data of 140 different types of samples from 104 COVID-19 patients. Through this, they gained insights into the immune cell proportions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), Tcell receptor (TCR) clone diversity, and other characteristics in convalescent patients. Another research study showcased profiled adaptive immune cells of PBMCs from recovered COVID-19 patients who have varying disease severity using single cell RNA sequencing, single cell TCR sequencing, and single cell BCR sequencing. Scientists have discovered a phenomenon that is hard to explain by these studies, which shows that convalescent patients with high serum anti-spike titers produce a higher proportion of non-neutralizing antibodies. Researchers have also performed single cell RNA sequencing on COVID-19 patient samples, which helped them compare the differences in gene expression patterns in patients of varying infection severity and in different organ types to analyze organ injury. They also found that COVID-19 infection leads to the inflammation of genes and pathways, which result in organ tissue damage to the liver, lungs, kidney, and heart. Through their study, they concluded that treating these symptoms at the organ level with therapeutic targets in the inflammatory pathway’s axis can lead to a better prognosis for severely infected patients.
