We present CLADES (cell lineage access driven by an edition sequence), a technology for cell lineage studies based on CRISPR-Cas9 techniques. CLADES relies on a system of genetic switches to activate and inactivate reporter genes in a predetermined order. Targeting CLADES to progenitor cells allows the progeny to inherit a sequential cascade of reporters, thereby coupling birth order to reporter expression.

Mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker (MARCM)-related technologies are positive genetic mosaic labeling systems that have been widely applied in studies of Drosophila brain development and neural circuit formation to identify diverse neuronal types, reconstruct neural lineages, and investigate the function of genes and molecules. Two types of MARCM-related technologies have been developed: single-colored and twin-colored. Single-colored MARCM technologies label one of two twin daughter cells in otherwise unmarked background tissues through site-specific recombination of homologous chromosomes during mitosis of progenitors.
