LiberalityAbstract
Human tissues progressively lose their function during aging. In the context of cellular differentiation and dedifferentiation, this process can be quantified as decrease and increase in liberality, defined as transcriptome diversity. In this study, we collected over 5,000 human transcriptome datasets and measured their liberality. We found a positive correlation between aging and liberality, as well as between disease status and liberality.
