Abstract
Measurements of cell phylogeny based on natural or induced mutations, known as lineage barcodes, in conjunction with molecular phenotype have become increasingly feasible for a large number of single cells. In this chapter, we delve into Quantitative Fate Mapping (QFM) and its computational pipeline, which enables the interrogation of the dynamics of progenitor cells and their fate restriction during development. The methods described here include inferring cell phylogeny with the Phylotime model, and reconstructing progenitor state hierarchy, commitment time, population size, and commitment bias with the ICE-FASE algorithm. Evaluation of adequate sampling based on progenitor state coverage statistics is emphasized for interpreting the QFM results. Overall, this chapter describes a general framework for characterizing the dynamics of cell fate changes using lineage barcoding data.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
