The UMAP plot for the scRNA-seq of 948 undifferentiated MEFs, 3,539 reprogrammed cells at 24 hrs, 2,936 cells at 48 hrs and 7,202 cells at 7 days and 827 FLK1+/KDR cells at 7 days post-induction of ETV2 in MEFs
The PCA of the variations of transcription factor (TF) associated chromatin accessibility of the ATAC-seq of MEF reprogramming (MEFs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 7 days post-induction) and EB differentiation (2.5 days and 3 hrs post induction)
The 31 TF expression levels and motif associated chromatin accessibility consistently showed directional change in both EBs and MEFs (13 up-regulated TFs and 18 down-regulated TFs)
The Venn diagram shows 131,001 and 18,024 Etv2 ChIP-seq peaks at 24 hrs post-induction during MEF reprogramming and 3 hrs post-induction in day 2.5 EBs, respectively
The genomic distribution of EB specific, MEF specific and common ETV2 peaks. The EB and MEF specific ETV2 peaks were more likely distributed at the distal intergenic regions
The heatmap shows the read density of MNase-seq, BRG1 ChIP-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq in MEFs, surrounding 131,001 ETV2 ChIP-seq peaks at 24 hrs post-induction during MEF reprogramming. The ETV2 peaks were divided into four quartiles based on the mean MNase-seq signals of the central 200-bp region
The heatmap shows the ratio of NFR / nucleosome read density, read density of BRG1 ChIP-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq in EBs (day 2.5), surrounding 18,024 ETV2 ChIP-seq at 3 hrs post-induction. The ETV2 peaks were divided into NFR (5,291 peaks) and nucleosome (8,843 peaks) groups according to the local V-plot and fragment size profiles of ATAC-seq day 2.5 EBs without ETV2 induction
The heatmap generated using NOMe-seq shows among 5,320 ETV2 binding sites that were nucleosome occupied at undifferentiated MEF, 4,744 (89.1%) became significantly nucleosome-free (NFR) while 576 (10.9%) stayed NOR at D1 of reprogramming
Sequence motif analysis by DREME and CentriMo identified a common GGAAAT motif that were significantly more enriched in NFR regions compared with the nucleosomes in both MEFs and EBs
A region upstream of Lmo2 that was highly enriched for nucleosomes in both cell types, as measured by MNase-seq and ATAC-seq was selected to perform in vitro nucleosomal binding assays
The average partial Etv2 motif scores in upstream/downstream 500 bp regions surrounding the binding summit of the "early', "late" and "sustained" Etv2 peaks in EB differentiation and MEF reprogramming
The percent of the "early', "late" and "sustained" Etv2 peaks in EBs and MEFs include partial Etv2 motifs in upstream/downstream 50bp regions surrounding the binding summits
The six clusters included three types of V-plots where the central Etv2 sites were nucleosome free (C1, C3 and C4), and three types of V-plots where the central Etv2 sites were nucleosome occupied (C2, C5, and C6), represented by aggregated V-plot

The fragment size distribution of ATAC-seq of FLK1+ cells vs. the mixture population at 12 hours post-ETV2 induction during EB reprogramming and day 7 post-ETV2 induction during MEF reprogramming. In both conditions, the mono-nucleosomes and the di-nucleosomes were significantly increased in the FLK1+ cell populations
The aggregated V-plot whose centers are the ETV2 bound sites at FLK1+ cell populations at 12 hours post-ETV2 induction in EB, and at 7 days post-ETV2 induction
The UMAP plot shows the scRNA-seq of 8,838 cells from day 7 post-induction in control MEFs, 1,502 FLK1+ cells from day 7 post-ETV2 induction in MEFs, 8,248 cells from day 7 post-ETV2 induction in Brg1 KD MEFs, and 8,034 cells at day 7 in Brg1 KD MEFs
The heatmap shows the piled up ATAC-seq signal surrounding the summit of 12,170 sustained ETV2 ChIP-seq peaks that were present at day 1 and day 7 post-induction of ETV2 in control MEFs (the sustained Etv2 peaks)
The heatmap shows the transcription factors where motif associated chromatin accessibility were significantly changed at day 7 post-ETV2 induction in MEFs (unsorted MEFs or FLK1+ cells), or the Brg1 KD MEFs
The biological processes that are significantly associated with the up-regulated genes in cluster 7 (FLK1+ cells at day 7 of reprogramming) compared with cluster 1 (undifferentiated MEFs)
The violin plots show the scaled expression levels of endothelial markers such as Etv2, Emcn, Lmo2, Flk1/Kdr, Cdh5 and Sox18 in MEFs, day 1, day 2, day 7 post-ETV2 induction, as well as the FLK1+ cells from day 7
