1 billion cells. One atlas. Today, Illumina introduces the Billion Cell Atlas, creating the most comprehensive map of human disease biology — and unlocking unparalleled speed and scale in AI for drug discovery.
The Atlas will help researchers, including founding participants @AstraZeneca, @Merck, and @EliLillyandCo study the effect of switching on and off all 20,000 genes in cells linked to diseases that have been historically difficult to decode.
Learn how the Atlas will elucidate the biological pathways behind some of the world’s most devastating diseases: https://t.co/IIleCmEIeQ #JPM2026
