Formation of the retina during development involves the coordinated action of retinal progenitor cells and their differentiated cell types, which is key for producing a functioning eye. Here the authors provide a detailed atlas of human retinal development, combining scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, and identify key genetic factors that mediate retinal progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation.
