The retina is a dynamic tissue of the eye made up of many different types of cells. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital used single-cell sequencing techniques to study retinal cells called Müller glia, showing that these cells have a unique set of “pliancy genes” that are open and accessible to gene expression machinery without being expressed…
