Single-cell, clonal and spatial atlases of neural plate border and neurogenic placodes illuminate their specification and evolution.

This dataset provides a clonal atlas of mouse neural plate border and neurogenic placodes, integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and high-resolution clonal tracing. These data define the lineage architecture of placodal and cranial ectodermal progenitors and provide a resource for understanding the emergence and diversification of vertebrate sensory structures.
