Identifying spatial determinants of immune cell fate commitment
The complex architecture of the mammalian hematopoietic system has been studied for decades, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying cell fate commitment remain poorly understood. Although cytokine signals are major determinants of hematopoietic cell fate, only few niches of stem and progenitor cells have been characterized. Here, we propose to resolve the cell type composition of mouse bone marrow by integrating single-cell RNA-seq with high-resolution spatial analysis of gene expression in tissue sections, visualizing ~250 cell type specific markers by multiplexed single-molecule RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization. This approach will reveal preferential co-localization of hematopoietic…
