Lineage marker synchrony in hematopoietic genealogies refutes the PU.1/GATA1 toggle switch paradigm

The timing of cell fate choices is usually unknown, because we have to rely on indirect evidence of their molecular basis. Here, the authors introduce a method to infer decision times from marker onset in cell genealogies, and find evidence refuting the paradigmatic PU.1/GATA1 cell fate switch.
