PALINCODE: Recording cell lineage with ternary palindromic CRISPR bits

ABSTRACT: Reconstructing complete and accurate lineage trees remains a long-standing challenge in biology. Here, we introduce PALINCODE (Palindromic Coding and Decoding), a system that utilizes ternary CRISPR bits (cBits) to stochastically write one of three possible states over time, permanently embedding lineage relationships in the genome. We demonstrate PALINCODE's lineage-recording potential through simulations and cell culture models. We show that truncated Cas9 guide sequences yield ternary outcomes at high efficiency when compared to conventional guides. Using PALINCODE, we derived lineage-recording cell lines with a theoretical coding capacity of up to 1025 bits, enabling the generation of lineage trees 32 cell divisions deep in single-cell sequencing of 293T cells. Furthermore, we applied PALINCODE using an in vivo melanoma model to jointly read out lineage history and gene expression, enabling in vivo reconstruction of clonal evolution within tumor cell clonal populations. PALINCODE circumvents several limitations of prior CRISPR-based systems and achieves a higher lineage-recording density than many competing approaches.

Regenerative base editing enables deep lineage recording

Project description:Reconstructing the lineage histories of individual cells can reveal the dynamics of developmental and disease processes. In engineered recording systems, cells stochastically edit synthetic barcode sequences as they proliferate, creating distinct, heritable edit patterns that can be used to reconstruct the lineage trees relating individual cells in a manner analogous to phylogenetic reconstruction. However, recording depth is often limited by the kinetics of the editing process: the rate of editing declines exponentially over time for an array of independently editable targets, leading to most edits occurring in early generations. Here, we introduce the hypercascade, a regenerative molecular recording system that takes advantage of the predictability of A-to-G base editing to progressively create new target sites over time. The hypercascade packs 4 editable target sites in every 20 bp of sequence, enabling high density information storage. More importantly, the hypercascade’s regenerative logic leads to an approximately constant rate of mutation accumulation over time. This in turn facilitates reconstruction of deep lineage relationships. We demonstrate this by reconstructing trees spanning 23 days of editing and approximately 17 generations after a single polyclonal engineering step. Finally, simulations show that the hypercascade has the potential to record chromatin state transition dynamics across multiple genomic loci in parallel. The hypercascade thus provides a flexible and broadly useful tool for molecular recording.

A Ternary-code DNA Methylome Atlas of Mouse Tissues

Project description:DNA cytosine modifications, including 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), are key epigenetic regulators with distinct functions. Dissecting the ternary code (C, 5mC, 5hmC) across tissues and cell types remains a critical priority due to the limitations of traditional profiling methods based on bisulfite conversion. Here, we leverage the combined bisulfite and enzymatic (bACE) conversion with the Mouse Methylation BeadChip to generate 265 base-resolution ternary-code modification maps of 5mC and 5hmC across 29 mouse tissue types spanning 8-76 weeks of age and both sexes. Our atlas reveals a complex grammar of 5hmC distribution, jointly shaped by cell mitotic activity, chromatin states, and interplay with 5mC at the same and neighboring CpG sites. Of note, we demonstrate that 5hmC significantly complements 5mC-based biomarkers in delineating cell identity in both brain and non-brain tissues. Each modification state, including 5hmC alone, accurately discriminates tissue types, enabling high-precision machine learning classification of epigenetic identity. Furthermore, the ternary methylome variations extensively implicate gene transcriptional variation, with age-related changes correlated with gene expression in a tissue-dependent manner. Our work examining the interplay of tissue type, sex, and age on methylome dynamics deepens our understanding of cytosine modification biology, augments the scope of DNA modification biomarker discovery, and provides a reference atlas to explore epigenetic dynamics in development and disease.

A Ternary-code DNA Methylome Atlas of Mouse Tissues

Project description:DNA cytosine modifications, including 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), are key epigenetic regulators with distinct functions. To better understand the ternary code (C, 5mC, 5hmC) across different tissues and cell types, we used bACE conversion with scalable assays to map these modifications at base resolution in 29 mouse tissues across various ages and sexes. Our atlas revealed complex patterns of 5hmC distribution, shaped by mitotic activity, chromatin states, and interactions with 5mC. Notably, 5hmC complements 5mC in identifying cell types, extending beyond the brain. Each modification, including 5hmC alone, distinguishes tissue types, enabling high-precision classification of epigenetic identity. Additionally, changes in the methylome correlate with gene transcription, with age-related effects varying by tissue type, offering new insights into cytosine modification biology and potential biomarkers.

A probabilistic framework for cellular lineage reconstruction using integrated single-cell 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and genomic DNA sequencing

Project description:Lineage reconstruction is central to understanding tissue development and maintenance. While powerful tools to infer cellular relationships have been developed, these methods typically have a clonal resolution and require a transgene. Here, we report scPECLR, a probabilistic algorithm to endogenously infer lineage trees at a single cell-division resolution using 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). When applied to 8-cell mouse embryos, scPECLR predicts the full lineage tree with greater than 95% accuracy, with the ability to infer larger lineage trees depending on the distribution of 5hmC patterns. Finally, we show that scPECLR can also be used to test the "immportal strand" hypothesis in stem cell biology. Thus, scPECLR provides a generalized method to endogenously reconstruct lineage trees at an individual cell-division resolution.

Simultaneous single-cell profiling of lineages and cell types in the vertebrate brain

Project description:The lineage relationships among the hundreds of cell types generated during development are difficult to reconstruct. A recent method, GESTALT, used CRISPR–Cas9 barcode editing for large-scale lineage tracing, but was restricted to early development and did not identify cell types. Here we present scGESTALT, which combines the lineage recording capabilities of GESTALT with cell-type identification by single-cell RNA sequencing. The method relies on an inducible system that enables barcodes to be edited at multiple time points, capturing lineage information from later stages of development. Sequencing of ∼60,000 transcriptomes from the juvenile zebrafish brain identified >100 cell types and marker genes. Using these data, we generate lineage trees with hundreds of branches that help uncover restrictions at the level of cell types, brain regions, and gene expression cascades during differentiation. scGESTALT can be applied to other multicellular organisms to simultaneously characterize molecular identities and lineage histories of thousands of cells during development and disease.

The role of Ternary Complex factors in T-cell Positive Selection

Project description:Removal of the transcription factor SAP1a member of the Ternary Complex Factor (TCF) group of transcription factors which in conjunction with Serum Response Factor (SRF) has been shown to have a profound effect on positive selection in the thymus. When another TCF Elk1 is knocked out in mice there is no effect on positive selection unless it is on a Sap1a KO background where the phenotype is very severe. We have stimulated isolated double positive T cells (DPs) with anti-CD3 to mimic positive selection and compared basal and stimulated transcription across the four genotypes to discover the downstream targets of Sap1a involved in positive selection. The Affymetrix mouse Chip Mouse430_2 arrays were used to define gene expression profiles in purified DPs with and with out CD3 treatment from 3 mice for each genotype (Wt,SapKO, ElkKO and SAP/Elk double KO)

Dual nuclease single-cell lineage tracing by Cas9 and Cas12a

Project description:Single-cell lineage tracing based on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing enables the simultaneous linkage of cell states and lineage history at a high resolution. Despite its immense potential in resolving the cell fate determination and genealogy within an organism, existing implementations of this technology suffers from the limitations in recording capabilities and considerable information dropout. Here, we introduce a versatile tool, DuTracer, which utilizes two orthogonal gene editing systems to record deep cell lineage history at single-cell resolution in an inducible manner. DuTracer shows the ability of enhanced lineage recording with minimized target dropouts and deepened tree depth. Application of DuTracer in mouse embryoid bodies and neuromesodermal organoids illustrates the transition pattern of the lineage relationship of different cell types and proposes potential lineage-biased molecular drivers. Moreover, we have developed an entropy-based approach to quantify the lineage recording ability of DuTracer in cell differentiation models. Together, DuTracer facilitates the precise and regulatory interrogation of cellular lineages of complex biological processes.
