Cambridge600,000 cells of one adult fish, mapped gene by gene.
The atlas gives researchers a baseline for how injury, aging or drugs change cells across a whole animal.
Published in Science, it covers Danionella cerebrum, a transparent fish 1 centimetre long and small enough to profile whole.
Whitehead Institute researchers say the map could show how a change in one organ affects others.
