Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Using sophisticated RNA sequencing technology, biomedical researchers can measure the activity of our genes across millions of single cells, creating detailed maps of tissues, organs, and diseases.

NOT a lot of people know this, but babies are made with a handshake. True, that isn’t all that is involved. Often it starts with two people falling in love. But at some point biology takes over and a ...
