Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sustain lifelong hematopoiesis through their capacityare multipotent progenitors with the capability for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. However, their prospective isolation and the ability to replenish blood cells. The search for functional characterization remain technically and phenotypic pure HSCs with respect to expression of cell surface marker as well as regeneration potential following transplantation has long been of paramount importance and challenging due to extensive cellular heterogeneity and the dynamic nature of their regulatory landscapes.Recent advancements in computational biology, particularly. Computational approaches employed to explore and identify pure HSCs population such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seqSeq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seqSeq), network inference algorithms, and machine learning, have revolutionized our ability to resolve transcriptional states, infer identify different cell types, understand lineage trajectories, and mapdifferentiation, study gene expression dynamics, construct regulatory networks at the single-cell level. These approaches enable the discovery of novel HSC subtypes, identify biomarkers, and regulatory factors, as well as facilitate the integration of multi-omics data to uncover epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms that drive stem cell fate decisions. Additionally, machine learning models trained on highthroughput datasets provide predictive power in identifying novel enhancers, transcription factors, and therapeuticdiscover drug targets. in HSCs. These tools also enable the analysis of HSCs metabolism and metabolic cross-talk between HSCs and their microenvironment. Despite significant advancement, the aim to prospectively isolate HSCs has been a hurdle. This review underscoresaddresses the synergistic rolesignificance of computational tools in deciphering HSC biologythe study of HSCs essential to maintain the immune system and emphasizes their potential for translating into improved stem cell therapies combat diseases. It aims to provide a futuristic approach of synergizing machine learning and precision treatments for hematologic disorders.
