Mapping the endometrium, cell by cell
Dr Roser Vento-Tormo tells us about her work to map the cells lining the uterus in space and time, how it epitomises her love of collaboration in science
Maturation Block – Redefining Childhood Cancers
Using the latest genome sequencing techniques, Dr Sam Behjati is revealing the journey that cells take on their way to becoming cancerous, and how we might stop them.
Championing Team Science
Professor Muzlifah Haniffa shares her thoughts achieving large-scale science.
A day in the life of a cell technician: CRISPR, teamwork, and character cells
Life in the cellular generation and phenotyping labs at the Sanger Institute.
Sarah Teichmann, an international pioneer of single cell research
We spoke to the Head of Cellular Genetics at the Sanger Institute about her life, career and the Human Cell Atlas.
Mapping the Human Cell Atlas – charting the body’s cellular world
The Human Cell Atlas is being used to guide future research into human development, biology, health, and disease.
The Human Cell Atlas: Understanding health to combat disease
Dr Kerstin Meyer, Principal Staff Scientist at the Sanger Institute, explains what it’s like to work on a such a huge, collaborative endeavour
25 years of pushing the scientific boundaries
From one human genome to hundreds of thousands, to every single cell in the body, to the genome of every species on the planet – DNA sequencing is accelerating. On our 25th anniversary we look at the evolution, application and potential of this powerful science.
A trusty guide for exploring the complexity of cells
Single cell RNA sequencing data can be used to identify cell types. Martin Hemberg and Vladimir Kiselev explain how their new scmap method can help the Human Cell Atlas initiative by analysing this data.
