Exciting times to study the identity and evolution of cell types

ABSTRACT The EMBO/EMBL Symposium on ‘The Identity and Evolution of Cell Types’ took place in Heidelberg, Germany, on 15-19 May 2019. The symposium, which brought together a diverse group of speakers addressing a wide range of questions in multiple model systems, provided a platform to discuss how the concept of a cell type should be considered in the era of single cell omics techniques and how cell type evolution can be studied. Summary: This Meeting Review discusses how recent technological advances have impacted the study of cell types and how this might change our view of cell type identity and evolution.
