Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are generated from haemogenic endothelial (HE) cells in vertebrate embryo aortas. Here, the authors perform single-cell RNA-sequencing of cells isolated from embryonic mouse aortas to identify genes and transcription factor networks activated during the endothelial-to-haematopoietic switch.
