Abstrakt: Developmental signaling inputs are fundamental for shaping cell fates and behavior. However, traditional fluorescent-based signaling reporters have limitations in scalability and molecular resolution of cell types. We present SABER-seq, a CRISPR-Cas molecular recorder that stores transient developmental signaling cues as permanent mutations in cellular genomes for deconstruction at later stages via single-cell transcriptomics. We applied SABER-seq to record Notch signaling in developing zebrafish brains. SABER-seq has two components: a signaling sensor and a barcode recorder. The sensor activates Cas9 in a Notch-dependent manner with inducible control while the recorder obtains mutations in ancestral cells where Notch is active. We combine SABER-seq with an expanded juvenile brain atlas to identify cell types derived from Notch-active founders. Our data reveals rare examples where differential Notch activities in ancestral progenitors are detected in terminally differentiated neuronal subtypes. SABER-seq is a novel platform for rapid, scalable and high-resolution mapping of signaling activity during development.
