A reference cell tree will serve science better than a reference cell atlas

S Domcke, J Shendure - Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Single-cell biology is facing a crisis of sorts. Vast numbers of single-cell molecular profiles
are being generated, clustered and annotated. However, this is overwhelmingly ad hoc, and …

Transposable elements in mammalian chromatin organization

HA Lawson, Y Liang, T Wang - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2023 - nature.com
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA elements that comprise almost 50% of
mammalian genomic sequence. TEs are capable of making additional copies of themselves …
