Low-heteroplasmy mitochondrial DNA mutations improve clonal reconstruction of human cells
2026-08-21
Abstract excerpt
Reconstructing clonal relationships among human cells is fundamental to understanding development, aging, and disease. Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations act as endogenous single-cell barcodes measurable alongside cell-state profiles, but lineage tracing has traditionally focused on high-heteroplasmy variants, which are easier to detect but few and potentially shaped by selection. Whether the more abundan...
