The equine tarsus is the most commonly affected hindlimb region associated with lameness. Diagnostic imaging is routinely applied but because of its complexity, being composed of 10 multifaceted bones and different joints, multiple ligaments, tendons and bursae, imaging this region can be a challenge. This is the first part of a two-part review of the structures and disorders of the equine tarsus. It describes the principal disorders affecting the soft tissues of the tarsal region and addresses some of the technical aspects in taking radiographic, ultrasonographic and scintigraphic images of the different soft tissue lesions. Where applicable, comments on the diagnostic use of contrast radiography, arthroscopy and tenoscopy are made. In current clinical practice a combination of radiography and ultrasonography is still most frequently used to arrive at a diagnosis.

Lineage tracing based on modern live imaging approaches enables to visualize, reconstruct, and analyze the developmental history, fate, and dynamic behaviors of cells in vivo in a direct, comprehensive, and quantitative manner. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has greatly boosted lineage tracing efforts, because fluorescently labeled specimens can be imaged in their entirety, over long periods of time, with high spatiotemporal resolution and minimal photodamage. In addition, an increasing arsenal of commercial and open-source software solutions for cell and nuclei segmentation and tracking can be employed to convert data from pixel-based to object-based representations, and to reconstruct the lineages of cells in their native context as they organize in tissues, organs, and whole organisms.

Lineage tracing methods enable the identification of all progeny generated by a single cell. High-throughput lineage tracing in the mammalian brain involves parallel labeling of thousands of progenitor cells with genetic barcodes in vivo followed by single-cell RNA-seq of lineage relations and cell types. Here we describe the generation of barcoded lentivirus, microinjections into the embryonic day 9.

Lineage tracing has significantly advanced our comprehension in many areas of biology, such as development or immunity, by precisely measuring cellular processes like migration, division, or differentiation across labeled cells and their progeny. Traditional recombinase-based prospective lineage tracing is limited by the need for a priori cell type information and is constrained in the numbers of clones it can simultaneously track. In this sense, clonal lineage tracing with integrated random barcodes offers a robust alternative, enabling researchers to label and track a vast array of cells and their progeny over time.
