Conclusion
The past quarter-century has many times showed the value of the scientific community joining together in collaborative efforts to generate and make freely available systematic information resources to accelerate scientific and medical progress in tens of thousands of laboratories around the world. The Human Cell Atlas builds on this rich tradition, extending it to the fundamental unit of biological organization: the cell. Many challenges will arise along the way, but we are confident that they can be met through scientific creativity and collaboration.
