What does a living reference map of human biology add that the more traditional data sets don't contain?
4:46
The cell atlas data, the human cell atlas data in health and then as a comparator to disease tissues, really giving us that level of resolution that we haven't had before and is allowing us to interpret data like genetic variants, both rare disease, common complex disease, interpret the location of pathogen entry factors, interpret where drug targets are acting at a new level of resolution.
5:17
You know, it sounds trivial, the fact that we can distinguish every exquisite detail, every individual cell type and cell state in the body.
5:25
Of course, we're not finished yet in the human cells project.
5:28
We are approaching completion of a first draft now that's composed of suspension cell data, single cell data around the body.
5:36
That level of resolution basically gives us a lot more detail, but it also provides us with a different level of accuracy.
5:45
And so I can kind of elaborate that on that a little bit in terms of human genetics, for instance.

What's the human factor that's got to be kept in mind?
