In a publication in Genome Biology, HPA related researchers present an integrated resource that maps gene expression across the human body using both single cell and bulk RNA sequencing data. The study covers 31 tissues and identifies over 557 distinct cell clusters, each annotated and validated using known marker genes and antibody-based profiling...Read more

Mitosis is the fundamental process by which genetic information is passed from a parental cell to two daughter cells. The crucial role of the microtubule cytoskeleton and the centrosomes in this process is well known, and still early mouse embryo lack centrosomes. In a study published in Cell researches have found an explanation to this paradox...Read more

The cell cycle is fundamental for life, enabling organisms to grow, heal, reproduce, and maintain cellular function. In the subcellular resource of the Human Protein Atlas protein imaging and single cell RNAseq analysis have been used to explore cell-to-cell variability and the cell cycle dependent proteome...Read more
