Molecular characterization of Barrett’s esophagus at single-cell resolution

Barrett’s esophagus is the premalignant condition of esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is categorized into different stages which correlate with the risk of developing carcinoma. Busslinger et al. performed single-cell RNA sequencing to identify seven genes that facilitate the distinction between different Barrett’s esophagus stages on histological sections.
