Nature: The largest single-cell whole-genome analysis to date

The body of an adult is composed of trillions of cells of more than 200 types

In order to overcome these problems, the research team took a different approach

This study looked at 334 single-cell flora and 379 tissue samples from 7 recently deceased human donors.

The results revealed several key features of human embryonic development

Researchers can also infer when the cells begin to differentiate into specific cells in a single organ

"This is an impressive scientific achievement.

The technology used in this research can be used to improve our understanding of rare diseases caused by abnormal embryonic development, and to design new precise diagnosis and treatment methods for patients

The research was completed in cooperation with Kyungpook University Hospital, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, Catholic University School of Medicine, Genome Insights, and Immune Square
