Single-cell Phylogenetic Analysis — Lineage Tree Reconstruction at Single-cell Resolution
Single-cell phylogenetic analysis reconstructs evolutionary or developmental trees from single-cell sequencing data, tracing how individual cells diverged from a common ancestor. By leveraging somatic mutations, CRISPR-introduced barcodes, or copy-number changes as heritable characters, this method maps clonal relationships within tumors, developing tissues, or immune repertoires with unprecedented cellular resolution.
