Hierarchical differentiation of myeloid progenitors is encoded in the transcription factor network.

Hematopoiesis is an ideal model system for stem cell biology with advanced experimental access. A systems view on the interactions of core transcription factors is important for understanding differentiation mechanisms and dynamics.
