Abstract excerpt
Due to the imperfect fidelity of DNA replication, somatic cells acquire DNA mutations at each division which record their lineage history. Microsatellites, tandem repeats of DNA nucleotide motifs, mutate more frequently than other genomic regions and by observing microsatellite lengths in single cells and implementing suitable inference procedures, the cell lineage tree of an organism can be reconstructed. Due to...
