2.5 million stem cells reveal first genome-scale guide to gene function
A team led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a genome-scale reference map that details how individual genes control the functions and identities of human stem cells.
AI Summary
Researchers have created a comprehensive guide to understanding how genes influence human stem cells. This guide, developed by a team at the University of California San Diego, provides a detailed map of gene function. The reference map is based on data from 2.5 million stem cells and could aid in the development of virtual cell models for complex diseases. These models may help researchers better understand the underlying causes of these diseases. The guide's open-access nature also makes it a valuable resource for designing patient-specific treatments.
