TITLE: "Exploration of human genetic and phenotypic diversity through cell villages" ABSTRACT: Our species is characterized by an immense diversity in neurological and psychological traits. Common and rare genetic variants have been linked to trait differences and disease risk in human populations, though the underlying biology is poorly understood and difficult to study at large scales.

TITLE: "Imaging-based genetic recording of developmental histories" ABSTRACT: Systems-level understanding of cell fate decisions has been hampered by limitations of the existing methods to capture developmental history of the cells. Synthetic recording, which uses genome editing to create sequence diversity in genetic barcodes, is emerging as a promising approach for mapping cell lineage and molecular history. […]
