ABSTRACT During mouse embryonic development, pluripotent cells rapidly divide and diversify, yet the regulatory programs that define the cell repertoire for each organ remain ill-defined. To
delineate comprehensive chromatin landscapes during early organogenesis, we mapped chromatin accessibility in 19,453 single nuclei from mouse embryos at 8.25 days post-fertilization.
Identification of cell-type-specific regions of open chromatin pinpointed two TAL1-bound endothelial enhancers, which we validated using transgenic mouse assays. Integrated gene expression
and transcription factor motif enrichment analyses highlighted cell-type-specific transcriptional regulators. Subsequent in vivo experiments in zebrafish revealed a role for the ETS factor
FEV in endothelial identity downstream of ETV2 (Etsrp in zebrafish). Concerted in vivo validation experiments in mouse and zebrafish thus illustrate how single-cell open chromatin maps,
representative of a mammalian embryo, provide access to the regulatory blueprint for mammalian organogenesis. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of

EXTENDED DATA EXTENDED DATA FIG. 1 SNATAC-SEQ EXPERIMENT. A, E8.25 embryos used for snATAC-seq. This panel includes the embryo in Fig. 1a (top right in this panel). Scale bars: 0.5 mm.
Experiment was performed with 10 embryos. B, Representative FACS gating strategy. The gate used to sort the nuclei regardless of DNA ploidy can be found in the bottom left panel. Gates for
nuclei with 2 (2n) and 4 copies (4n) of DNA can be found in the bottom right panel. EXTENDED DATA FIG. 2 DATA QUALITY CONTROL AND CELL TYPE ANNOTATION. A, Quality control (QC) thresholds.
Top: _X-Y_ plot showing the number of reads in peaks and promoter coverage for each barcode. Promoter coverage is defined as the number of reads in constitutive promoters divided by the
total number of constitutive promoters. Values have been log-transformed. Red square box delimits the nuclei that passed QC for these parameters. Middle: Histogram showing the doublet scores
for the nuclei that passed the first QC. Red line delimits the threshold; those below the line passed QC. _y_ axis has been log-transformed. Bottom: Histogram showing the ratio of reads in
peaks for those nuclei that passed QC in the panels above. Red line delimits the threshold; nuclei above this line passed QC. B, Heatmap illustrating the row-normalised frequency (from dark
blue/low to yellow/high) of nuclei for each cell type with open chromatin in the transcription start site (TSS) of genes that are expressed specifically in them. Marker gene list has been
curated by using a previously reported transcriptomic atlas, containing this stage8. C, Frequency of nuclei based on their DNA content per cell type. For this plot, we only considered the
nuclei sorted with the “4n” and “2n” gates from Extended Data Fig. 1b. Source data EXTENDED DATA FIG. 3 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR MOTIF ENRICHMENT ANALYSES. A, Heatmap showing the motif
enrichment scores (NES) for transcription factor (TF) motifs enriched in OCRs uniquely contributing to topics 38, 51 and/or 100. Values are represented by a colour gradient from dark blue
(0) to dark red (8.9). Sequence logos are shown on the left. B, UMAP visualisation showing the motif enrichment scores for GATA1–6 using chromVAR on the 19,453 cells. Values are represented
by a colour gradient from dark blue (low, below 0) to red (high, above 0). Cells with values of 0 are depicted in grey. Sequence logos for each member can be found at the bottom right corner
of each plot. C, Histogram showing the number of regions containing GATA binding sites per topic. Source data EXTENDED DATA FIG. 4 MOTIF ENRICHMENT SCORES AND SHARING BETWEEN GUT AND

Source data EXTENDED DATA FIG. 5 ALLANTOIC-HAEMATO-ENDOTHELIAL DEVELOPMENT. A, Simplified diagram of allantoic-haemato-endothelial development. Early mesoderm generates different lineages
including allantoic cells, erythrocytes and endothelial cells (ECs). The precursors of the first wave of primitive erythrocytes express genes commonly associated with ECs, thus making the
distinction between erythroid and endothelial precursors (Haemato-endothelial precursors) difficult by their transcriptomes. Yolk sac (YS) ECs give rise to the definitive blood wave by
generating erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMPs). The allantois also contributes to the EC pool by generating allantoic ECs. B, UMAP visualisation (left) and PAGA representation as in Fig. 7a
(right) of the allantoic-haemato-endothelial landscape (n=3,284 cells) showing the chromatin accessibility at the _Runx1 +23_ _kb_ enhancer. Black dots in UMAP on the right correspond to
nuclei where the region is accessible. Accessibility in PAGA is represented by the ratio of nuclei per cluster (from grey to dark blue) that have _Runx1 +23_ _kb_ accessible. C, PAGA
representation as in Fig. 7a showing the mean enrichment scores per cluster (from grey=0 to dark blue=1) for TAL1 ChIP-seq peaks from haemangioblasts, haemogenic endothelium and

snATAC-seq profiles of the erythroid, endothelium and allantois cell types after cell pooling, the ETV2 ChIP-seq from41 and evolutionary conservation tracks from UCSC. F, UMAP visualisation
(left) and PAGA representation (right) of the allantoic-haemato-endothelial landscape (n=3,284 cells) showing the chromatin accessibility at the _Fev +0.7_ _kb_ region. Sub-clusters are as
in Fig. 7a. Black dots in UMAP on the right correspond to nuclei where the region is accessible. Accessibility in PAGA is represented by the ratio of nuclei per cluster (from grey to dark
blue) that have _Fev +0.7_ _kb_ accessible. G, WISH analyses showing the expression of _fev_ in PLPM from _etsrp_y11-/- mutants, and _etsrp_y11-/- mutants with _hsp70-fev_-GFP and _tol2_
mRNA under heat-shock treatment at 3 s. Red arrowheads highlight the area where _fev_ is reduced in _etsrp_y11-/- mutants and where it is ectopically expressed after heat-shock treatment. H,
Western blot analysis showing the protein level of Fev in sibling and _etsrp_y11-/- mutants. I, WISH of _lmo2_, _tal1_, _gata1a_, _flk1_, _myod_ and _runx1_ in sibling embryos (top),
_etsrp_y11-/- embryos (middle), and _etsrp_y11-/- embryos co-injected with _hsp70-fev_-GFP and _tol2_ mRNA and heat-shocked at 3 s (bottom). Black arrowheads indicate the expression (top),
reduction of expression (middle) and expanded expression (bottom) in the PLPM. White arrowheads indicate these patterns in the trunk vessels. Embryos are shown on the dorsal view at 12 s
stage, and the lateral view at 28 hpf. Fractions in the panels with zebrafish images depict the number of embryos that showed similar results out of the total number of embryos analysed.

INFORMATION REPORTING SUMMARY SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES 1–10. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES 1. NUCLEAR BARCODES. Barcode sequences used to label nuclei in single-nucleus ATAC-seq. File tabs:
I1_index_Tn5_i7: tagmentation barcodes used in the first two plates; I2_E85_embryo_all, I2_E85_embryo_smallnuclei_2n, E85_embryo_largenuclei_4n: barcodes added to nuclei in the PCR step for
the sample sorted indiscriminately, the sample sorted in the “2n” gate and the sample sorted in the “4n” gate of Extended Data Fig. 1b, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 2. NUMBER OF READS
PER SEQUENCING RUN. Table indicating the number of reads sequenced in each run. Each read pair from the paired-end sequencing is counted as 2 reads. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 3. RETAINED READS
THROUGHOUT THE PRE-PROCESSING PIPELINE. Table specifying the number of reads in the different categories highlighted in the row names. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 4. CONSTITUTIVE PROMOTERS. List of
mm10 constitutive promoters, containing the coordinates of 5,006 promoters (TSS / TSS – 2 kb) that are accessible in the majority of datasets based on ENCODE DNase Hypersensitive Sites and
ATAC-seq data. This list was originally generated for ref. 4. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 5. METADATA FOR EACH NUCLEUS. File containing information for each nucleus analysed in this study that
passed quality control (19,453 nuclei). For each nucleus, we have provided the barcode (“barcode” column), gating based on DNA content from Extended Data Fig. 1b (“nuclei_type” column),
number of reads (“num_of_reads” column), promoter coverage (“promoter_coverage” column), number of reads in promoters (“read_in_promoter” column), doublet scores (“doublet_scores” column),
number of reads in peaks (“read_in_peak” column), ratio of reads in peaks (“ratio_peaks” column), UMAP coordinates (“umap_X” and “umap_Y” columns), final clusters (“final_clusters” column),
cell type annotation (“ann” column) and sub-clusters for the allantoic-haemato-endothelial landscape (“al_haem_endo_clusters” column). Values for each topic are also included. SUPPLEMENTARY
TABLE 6. METADATA FOR EACH GENOMIC REGION. File containing information for each genomic region analysed in this study. For each genomic region, we have provided the peak ID; peak coordinates
(chromosome, start and end); their general annotation (TSS (−1kb to +100 bp), TTS (−100 bp to +1 kb), intron, exon, intergenic); their distance from the TSS that have been annotated to if
the region is intergenic; and the gene name, ensemble ID and strand of the genes they has been annotated to (if multiple genes have been annotated to the peak, the peak entry will be
repeated). If the region is cell-type-specific, the cell type(s) where it is specific can be found in the “celltype_specificity” column. If the region contributes to a particular topic, you
can find what topic(s) it contributes to in the “topic” column. “topic_stringent” gives the topic information if the regions only contribute to one topic. This table also gives information
on the UMAP coordinates for visualisation in Fig. 4a, and the number of nuclei with each genomic region accessible in linear (“accessibility”) and log10 form (“accessibility_log”). If the
region is part of a dynamic pattern during endothelial establishment, you will find the pattern number in the “Pattern_endothelium” column. Please note that some peak entries may be repeated
due to them being annotated to multiple genes. Therefore, if one wants to plot unique regions independently of metadata regarding gene annotation, we advise to make metadata unique by using
the peakID column. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 7. ENDOTHELIAL-SPECIFIC TAL1-BOUND OPEN CHROMATIN REGIONS. File containing the coordinates of endothelial-specific open chromatin regions that
intersect with TAL1 ChIP-seq peaks from haemogenic endothelium. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 8. ENDOTHELIAL-SPECIFIC HEPTAD-BOUND OPEN CHROMATIN REGIONS. File containing the coordinates of
endothelial-specific open chromatin regions, already intersected with TAL1 ChIP-seq peaks from haemogenic endothelium, that intersect with HPC-7 ChIP-seq peaks reported as heptad peaks in
ref. 34. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 9. MOUSE TRANSGENIC ASSAYS IN NUMBERS. Number of E11.5 mouse transgenic embryos with LacZ staining in different regions (column names). FL: Fetal Liver. YS: Yolk
Sac. SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE 10. METADATA FOR SINGLE-CELL RNA-SEQ SAMPLES. File containing information for each cell from ref. 8 analysed in this study. For each cell (row), we have provided
the cell name, cell barcode, sample stage, sequencing batch and cell type as in ref. 8. Additionally, we provide the force-directed graph coordinates computed for Fig. 7d-f and Extended Data
Fig. 9e (“FA_X”, “FA_Y”), the subcluster identity (“Louvain subclust”), the pseudotime values for the allantoic-to-endothelium trajectory (“DPT_al”) and for the mesoderm-to-endothelium
trajectory (“DPT_meso”). SOURCE DATA SOURCE DATA FIG. 1 Statistical source data to reproduce figure SOURCE DATA FIG. 2 Statistical source data to reproduce figure SOURCE DATA FIG. 3
