摘要

Mutations are acquired frequently, such t`hat each cell’s genome inscribes its history of cell divisions. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) accumulates throughout the genome, offering large encoding capacity for phylogenetic inference of cell lineage. In this chapter, we demonstrate a method, using single-cell RNA sequencing, for reconstructing cell lineages from inferred LOH events in a Bayesian manner, annotating the lineage with cell phenotypes, and marking developmental time points based on X-chromosome inactivation. This type of retrospective analysis could be incorporated into scRNA-seq pipelines and was initially developed to investigate Emx1+ cortical projection neuron and glia lineages from C57Bl/6J (B6) and CAST/EiJ (CA) interstrain F1 mice, describing progenitor cells giving rise to multiple cortical cell types through stereotyped expansion and distinct waves of neurogenesis.
