Transcriptional landscape of direct reprogramming toward the hematopoietic lineage

Jillian Cwycyshyn, Cooper M. Stansbury, Sarah Golts, Hyunsu Lee, Joshua Pickard, Walter Meixner, Indika Rajapakse, Lindsey A. Muir

The paper develops a single-cell transcriptomic reference atlas and evaluates a transcription factor recipe for reprogramming fibroblasts into hematopoietic stem cells, revealing intermediate transcriptomic states and transcriptional remodeling.
