The ventral rhombomere 1 of the embryonic mouse (\n                    <jats:italic>Mus musculus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) brainstem produces neuronal precursors that can differentiate into either inhibitory GABAergic or excitatory glutamatergic neurons important for the control of behaviour.

Here, we asked how these selector TFs are activated and how they control the identity of the developing brainstem neurons. We addressed these questions by analysing chromatin accessibility at putative gene regulatory elements active during GABAergic and glutamatergic neuron lineage bifurcation, combined with studies of TF expression and DNA binding. Our results show that the\n                    <jats:italic>Tal1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Gata2<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Gata3<\/jats:italic>\n                    genes are activated by highly similar mechanisms, with connections to regional patterning, neurogenic cell cycle exit and general course of neuronal differentiation.

Predicted targets of these selector TFs include genes expressed in GABAergic neurons, glutamatergic neurons, or both. Unlike genes specific to the glutamatergic branch, the genes expressed in GABAergic neurons appear to be under combinatorial control of\n                    <jats:italic>Tal1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Gata2<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Gata3<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
