Privacy of single-cell gene expression data

The possibility that single-cell gene expression datasets could leak information about individuals’ genotypes has been largely unexplored. Walker et al. showed that even noisy genotype predictions derived from these data can be linked to the corresponding genotype profiles with significant accuracy.
