'Fingerprints' help find genes involved in differentiation

Source: Baylor College of Medicine

Summary:

A database that includes the molecular profiles of the major components of the blood system -- including the stem cells and the cells differentiated from them - enabled researchers at Baylor College of Medicine to identify at least two genes involved in the differentiation process for two different kinds of blood cells.
