Human lineage tracing enabled by mitochondrial mutations and single cell genomics [TF1_clones_scRNA]

Default Boolean Operator: Terms in a search string will be connected by the AND operator, EXAMPLE: searching genomic melanoma will produce the same results as genomic AND melanoma .
AND, OR, NOT: Combine terms in a search with the boolean operators AND (to add specificity), OR (to broaden), or NOT (to eliminate a term). Operators must be capitalized (all other search terms are not case-sensitive).
Wild Card: Add wild card symbols * (open-ended) and ? (single character) to truncate terms. EXAMPLE: searching gen* shows results for 'gene', 'genetic', 'genomic, etc. Searching gene? returns results for 'gene' or 'genes' but not for 'genome'.
Phrase Searching: Enclose search in quotation marks "keyword or search term" to search for an exact phrase. EXAMPLE: "transcription factors" returns results for records where transcription is immediately followed by the word factors .
Diacritics: Words containing diacritics translate those characters to non-diacritic form. EXAMPLE: massague returns results for Massague&#769 .
Filter by: Located on the homepage (left panel), use filters to search for records or narrow the search. From search results page, filters can be removed by clicking on the term at the top of the page.

Description: Summary from GEO:

"Lineage tracing provides unprecedented insights into the fate of individual cells and their progeny in complex organisms. While effective genetic approaches have been developed in vitro and in animal models, these cannot be used to interrogate human physiology in vivo. Instead, naturally occurring somatic mutations have been utilized to infer clonality and lineal relationships between cells in human tissues, but current approaches are limited by high error rates and scale, and provide little information about the state or function of the cells. Here, we show how somatic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be tracked by current single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) or single cell ATAC-Seq (scATAC-Seq) for simultaneous analysis of single cell lineage and state. We leverage somatic mtDNA mutations as natural genetic barcodes and demonstrate their use as clonal markers to infer lineal relationships. We trace the lineage of human cells by somatic mtDNA mutations in a native context both in vitro and in vivo, and relate it to expression profiles and chromatin accessibility. Our approach should allow lineage tracing at a 100- to 1,000-fold greater scale than with single cell whole genome sequencing, while providing information on cell state, opening the way to chart detailed cell lineage and fate maps in human health and disease.

A variety of experimental designs using cells derived from both in vitro and in vivo to determine the efficacy of using mtDNA mutations in human clonal tracing."

Overall design from GEO:

"Individually sorted cells from clonally derived TF1 clones (C9, D6, and G10) were processed with single cell RNA-seq (Smart-seq2)."
