Excited to share the first preprint from our lab! We combined a DNA Typewriter lineage recorder with clone-resolved founder profiling to find what makes metastatic potential heritable in lung cancer xenografts. 1/13 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Time-resolved lineage recording reveals a pre-existing, heritable cell state underlying metastatic potential
Metastasis causes most cancer deaths, yet no recurrent mutation specifically drives it, raising the possibility that metastatic potential is a non-genetic yet heritable cell state. Classic experiments...
