The Human Cell Atlas project will certainly yield a tremendous amount of data and define many new cell types. I wonder how much resolution we will get from single cell RNA-seq since technological limitations permit the analysis of genes with high expression. In my experience with single cell analysis we only detect a few thousand genes per cell and many of those are not detected frequently enough to infer their contribution to the cells identity.
