Researchers at the Wayne State University School of Medicine are among more than 250 scientists in 114 labs in more than 20 countries and regions to publish a series of coordinated papers, including landmark papers in Nature and ten other journals, revealing a definitive list of human cell states that has the potential to serve as an essential resource for regenerative medicine. Leonard Lipovich, an associate professor in both the Center for Molecular Medicine and Genetics and the Department of Neurology, is among the authors. His lab is the only contributing lab from Michigan. Lipovich is a co-author of the paper "A Promoter Level Mammalian Expression Atlas," which will appear in Nature. This work provides the first ever quantitative definition of the complete set of human and mouse gene promoters at single-base resolution.
