Reconstruction of Contemporary Human Stem Cell Dynamics with Oscillatory Molecular Clocks
2021-03-16
Abstract excerpt
Molecular clocks record cellular ancestry. However, currently used clocks ‘tick too slowly’ to measure the short-timescale dynamics of cellular renewal in adult tissues. Here we develop ‘rapidly oscillating DNA methylation clocks’ where ongoing (de)methylation causes the clock to ‘tick-tock’ back-and-forth between methylated and unmethylated states like a pendulum. We identify oscillators using standard methylatio...
