The total of genes on the chips was identical at 24 818 for HSCs, MPPs, CLPs, and CMPs. Presence of expression was defined as follows: if the expression level of a given gene is more than 100. Genes that are highly expressed were defined as if a normalized value more than 0.3, here 0.3, is a normalized value (see the color bar for reference).
