A "Switch" in Time through Genes Aligned: Unraveling the Genomic Landscape of HSC Development

Cell Stem Cell. 2020 Nov 5;27(5):695-697. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2020.10.011.

Abstract

Seeking to define the "switch" from fetal to adult hematopoiesis, Li et al. (2020) performed extensive genomic and epigenomic profiling of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells across ontogeny (as explored in this issue of Cell Stem Cell). Gradual and stochastic changes in genomic and epigenomic regulation suggest the absence of any specific regulator.
