Where this comes from

Abstract

Cellular development unfolds across both space and time, with lineage history influencing cellular identity and tissue organization. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Jia et al.<sup>1</sup> combine CRISPR lineage recording with spatial transcriptomics to reconstruct the clonal relationships and spatial organization of cells during mouse development and cancer progression.
