The CRISPR-activated repair lineage tracing (CARLIN) mouse line uses DNA barcoding to enable high-resolution tracing of cell lineages in vivo (Bowling et al, Cell 181, 1410–1422.e27, 2020). CARLIN mice contain expressed barcodes that allow simultaneous interrogation of lineage and gene expression information from single cells. Furthermore, barcode editing is fully inducible, resulting in cell lineage labeling that can be performed at any time point in development or adulthood. This chapter details the protocols followed for maintaining CARLIN mice, inducing barcoding, and amplifying the CARLIN barcode from DNA, RNA, and single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries for next-generation sequencing.

摘要

The CRISPR-activated repair lineage tracing (CARLIN) mouse line uses DNA barcoding to enable high-resolution tracing of cell lineages in vivo (Bowling et al, Cell 181, 1410–1422.e27, 2020). CARLIN mice contain expressed barcodes that allow simultaneous interrogation of lineage and gene expression information from single cells. Furthermore, barcode editing is fully inducible, resulting in cell lineage labeling that can be performed at any time point in development or adulthood. This chapter details the protocols followed for maintaining CARLIN mice, inducing barcoding, and amplifying the CARLIN barcode from DNA, RNA, and single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries for next-generation sequencing.
