Mitochondrial lineage tracing brought exciting new capabilities to single-cell genomics. However, a core problem remains: unlike classical lineage recorders, mtDNA mutations can drift and disappear as cells divide, preventing us from precisely decoding lineage history.

Can we accurately map cell family trees using mtDNA? Excited to share MitoDrift, a high-precision single-cell lineage inference tool, enabling reliable mapping of lineage history to cell phenotypes. doi.org/10.64898/202...
