Abstract
Lineage tracing remains an essential approach towards understanding cell fate, tissue formation, and human development. Herein, we review advancements in lineage tracing techniques, the integration of sequencing and imaging technologies, and computational tools for analysis. We report on recent lineage tracing applications, including integrative techniques (MADM-CloneSeq), in situ hybridization (DART-FISH), and modern workflows (BaSISS), which hold an essential role in our aim to unravel lineage hierarchies and, ultimately, human development.
期刊介绍:
npj Systems Biology and Applications is an online Open Access journal dedicated to publishing the premier research that takes a systems-oriented approach. The journal aims to provide a forum for the presentation of articles that help define this nascent field, as well as those that apply the advances to wider fields. We encourage studies that integrate, or aid the integration of, data, analyses and insight from molecules to organisms and broader systems. Important areas of interest include not only fundamental biological systems and drug discovery, but also applications to health, medical practice and implementation, big data, biotechnology, food science, human behaviour, broader biological systems and industrial applications of systems biology.
We encourage all approaches, including network biology, application of control theory to biological systems, computational modelling and analysis, comprehensive and/or high-content measurements, theoretical, analytical and computational studies of system-level properties of biological systems and computational/software/data platforms enabling such studies.
