Adult and embryonic blood and endothelium derive from distinct precursor populations which are differentially programmed by BMP in Xenopus.

Blood and blood vessels develop in close association in vertebrate embryos and loss-of-function mutations suggest common genetic regulation. By the criteria of co-expression of blood and endothelial genes, and lineage tracing of progeny, we locate two distinct populations of progenitors for blood an...
