Popis: | Tracing the lineage history of cells is key to answering diverse and fundamental questions in biology. Particularly in the context of stem cell biology, analysis of single cell lineages in their native state has elucidated novel fates and highlighted heterogeneity of function. Coupling of such ancestry information with other molecular readouts represents an important goal in the field. Here, we describe the CARLIN (for CRISPR Array Repair LINeage tracing) mouse line and corresponding analysis tools that can be used to simultaneously interrogate the lineage and transcriptomic information of single cells in vivo. This model exploits CRISPR technology to generate up to 44,000 transcribed barcodes in an inducible fashion at any point during development or adulthood, is compatible with sequential barcoding, and is fully genetically defined. We have used CARLIN to identify intrinsic biases in the activity of fetal liver hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) clones and to uncover a previously unappreciated clonal bottleneck in the response of HSCs to injury. CARLIN also allows the unbiased identification of transcriptional signatures based on in vivo stem cell function without a need for markers or cell sorting. |
