Hierarchical lineage architecture of human and avian spinal cord revealed by single-cell genomic barcoding
The formation of neural circuits depends on the precise spatial and temporal organisation of neuronal populations during development. In the vertebrate spinal cord, progenitors are patterned into mole...

We used genomic barcoding + scRNAseq in chick & human embryos to reveal a lineage architecture that reshapes how we understand neural tube development & cell fate decisions

Dual transcriptional activities of PAX3 and PAX7 spatially encode spinal cell fates through distinct gene networks
How do transcription factors, with pleotropic functions, generate organized cellular diversity in developing tissues? This study shows that PAX3 and PAX7 orchestrate spinal cord patterning by acting a...
