Phylogenetic fate mapping: theoretical and experimental studies applied to the development of mouse fibroblasts.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations are an inevitable consequence of cell division. Similarly to how DNA sequence differences allow inferring evolutionary relationships between organisms, we and others have recently demonstrated how somatic mutations may be exploited for phylogenetically reconstructing lineages of individual cells during development in multicellular organisms. However, a problem with such "phylogenetic fate maps" is that...
