Cell Lineage Tracing

Tools for Exploring Lineage Tracing

Lineage tracing is a technique used to delineate complex biological processes to better understand cellular dynamics in multicellular organisms It allows researchers to follow the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of specific cells, with minimum disturbance to their physiological function. This method is widely used to obtain data about a starting cell population, its progeny, their location, and differentiation status.
