Single-cell transcriptome profiling reveals intratumoural heterogeneity and malignant progression in retinoblastoma
Abstract Retinoblastoma is a childhood retinal tumour that is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumour. However, it has been challenging to identify the cell types associated with genetic complexity. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on 14,739 cells from two retinoblastoma sa...

Abstract Retinoblastoma is a childhood retinal tumour that is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumour.

Using a multiresolution network-based analysis, we identified two major cell types in human retinoblastoma.
