McGill University
The McGill University team is advancing a test, dubbed DOvEEgene, which sequences DNA from a uterine brush sample to detect cancer-associated mutations.
Members of the HCA consortium published around 40 new papers outlining their progress in characterizing cellular features across tissues, organs, and other biological systems.
