Freiburg Neuroscience Lecture | Alex Schier

The development of systems ranging from brains to metastases is governed by regulatory factors that control specification trajectories and by cell division patterns that determine lineage relationships. I will illustrate how single-cell RNA sequencing and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing provide new tools to reconstruct developmental trajectories and lineage trees at very large scales. I will discuss the opportunities and challenges for these technologies to provide new views of brain development (also see McKenna et al. Science 2016; Farrell et al. Science 2018; Pandey et al. Current Biology 2018; Raj et al. Nature Biotechnology 2018).
