Innate T cells such as iNKT, MAIT and γδ T cells all develop in the thymus, but their differentiation paths are still unclear. Here, the authors show, using single-cell RNA sequencing, that all three cell types develop via shared and branched differentiation paths that are corroborated by additional results from gene-deficient mice and human liver T cells.
