Brain myelinating oligodendrocytes are rare and difficult to isolate, which has limited data on their development. Here the authors develop a reporter for scalable purification of human pluripotent stem cell derived oligodendrocyte lineage cells, and use this to map differentiation using single cell RNA-sequencing,
