New 'Genetic Barcode' Technique Reveals Details of Cell Lineage (2 of 2)

Caption

Genome editing of synthetic target arrays for lineage tracing (GESTALT) can be used to generate largescale maps of cell lineage. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the May 26, 2016, online issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. McKenna at University of Washington in Seattle, WA, and colleagues was titled, 'Whole organism lineage tracing by combinatorial and cumulative genome editing.'
