description Summary: Lineage reconstruction is central to understanding tissue development and maintenance. To overcome the limitations of current techniques that typically reconstruct clonal trees using genetically encoded reporters, we report scPECLR, a probabilistic algorithm to endogenously infer lineage trees at a single-cell-division resolution by using 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). When applied to 8-cell pre-implantation mouse embryos, scPECLR predicts the full lineage tree with greater than 95% accuracy. In addition, we developed scH&G-seq to sequence both 5hmC and genomic DNA from the same cell. Given that genomic DNA sequencing yields information on both copy number variations and single-nucleotide polymorphisms, when combined with scPECLR it enables more accurate lineage reconstruction of larger trees. Finally, we show that scPECLR can also be used to map chromosome strand segregation patterns during cell division, thereby providing a strategy to test the “immortal strand” hypothesis. Thus, scPECLR provides a generalized method to endogenously reconstruct lineage trees at an individual-cell-division resolution. Motivation: Reconstructing lineage trees is fundamental for gaining insights into basic biological and disease processes. Although powerful tools to infer cellular relationships have been developed, these methods typically have a clonal resolution that prevents the reconstruction of lineage trees at an individual-cell-division resolution. Moreover, these methods require a transgene, which poses a significant barrier to the study of human tissues. In this work, we develop a complementary approach that does not require exogenous labeling and can reconstruct each cell division within a lineage tree.
