This allelic expression is mitotically stable in clonal cell lines and independent between loci, enabling vast epigenetic heterogeneity within cell populations.
In agreement with our previous results on clonal cell populations, the vast majority of cells of clone 1#C and clone 3#C showed a homogeneous XCI profile with a preferential expression of maternal alleles of the genes we tested.
By the time we're in our 40s, we are likely to have hundreds of premalignant cell populations, but the vast majority will either be destroyed or held dormant by our own anti-cancer defences.
Advanced multiparameter cell sorting has enabled the isolation of rare subpopulations with properties distinct from those of bulk cell populations, but the vast majority of such populations remain at purities less than 50%, with many fractions substantially lower.
Recent advances in comparative genomics and metagenomics have uncovered a vast viral diversity and have shown that viruses are active regulators of cell populations and that they can influence cell evolution by acting as vectors for gene transfer among cells.
The vast majority of living biomass consists of single-celled organisms, but the existence of higher organisms demonstrates that interacting networks of cell populations can thrive despite competition between them [1], [2].
Characteristics of sorted ILC and NK cell populations.
Single-cell RNA-seq reveals three distinct liver cell populations.
Cell populations were asynchronous.
Cell populations were then cultured without puromycin.
