Out @nature.com: Clonal tracing with somatic epimutations

🧬 Single cell methylome encodes cell state & clonal identity

🔨 EPI-Clone reads out both (+mutations, +RNA) at scale

🩸 Clonal expansions of HSCs are universal from age 50, not driven by CH mutations

Clonal tracing with somatic epimutations reveals dynamics of blood ageing - Nature
The discovery that DNA methylation of different CpG sites can serve as digital barcodes of clonal identity led to the development of EPI-Clone, an algorithm that enables single-cell lineage tracing th...
