FANTOM studies networks in cells

Systems biology boosted by RNA-sequencing consortium.

An international consortium has released an analysis of unprecedented detail showing the genes and proteins that guide an immature cell to its final identity. The compendium of data could boost efforts to model the molecular networks that determine cell type — a long-standing goal in systems biology, and possibly a crucial step to creating stem-cell therapies.
