Lineage tracing reveals asynchronous fate restriction in mouse embryos and stem cell-derived embryo models

Yunzheng Liu, Jihye Park, Laura Amaya, Sergi Junyent, Xiangkai Sun, Jiabao Sean Xiao, Yuqi Wang, Hao Wang, Yunrui Lu, Shoma Nakagawa, Sung-Eun Park, Wenqi Hu, Shichen Liu, Jiangbo Wei, Seokjoong Kim, , Magdalena Zernicka‐Goetz

The paper uses lineage tracing to show that fate restriction in mouse embryos and stem cell-derived models is asynchronous and not solely determined by cell identity.
