Mapping the immune system

Caption

This image visualises the activity of over a million individual immune cells. The dots represent cells clustered by similarities in gene expression, and coloured by their specific job in the immune system. Analysing cells at this level of detail allowed the researchers to discover hidden genetic differences between male and female immunity.
