Human Cell Atlas
Creates comprehensive maps of all human cells for researchers around the globe
The Human Cell Atlas is a community of scientists creating comprehensive reference maps of all human cells to better understand human health and diagnose, monitor, and treat disease. We still do not know what types make up the 37.2 trillion cells of the human body. Atlas data — including which of the 20,000 genes in a given cell are switched on — are available to researchers around the globe.
