Artificial polyploidy improves bacterial single cell genome recovery.

<h4>Background</h4>Single cell genomics (SCG) is a combination of methods whose goal is to decipher the complete genomic sequence from a single cell and has been applied mostly to organisms with smaller genomes, such as bacteria and archaea. Prior single cell studies showed that a signif...
