has long been a premier model for the development and application of cutting-edge genetic approaches. The CRISPR-Cas system now adds the ability to manipulate the genome with ease and precision, providing a rich toolbox to interrogate relationships between genotype and phenotype, to delineate and visualize how the genome is organized, to illuminate and manipulate RNA, and to pioneer new gene drive technologies. Myriad transformative approaches have already originated from the CRISPR-Cas system, which will likely continue to spark the creation of tools with diverse applications. Here, we provide an overview of how CRISPR-Cas gene editing has revolutionized genetic analysis in and highlight key areas for future advances.

The recent development of genetic lineage recorders, designed to register the genealogical history of cells using induced somatic mutations, has opened the possibility of reconstructing complete animal cell lineages. To reconstruct a cell lineage tree from a molecular recorder, it is crucial to use an appropriate reconstruction algorithm. Current approaches include algorithms specifically designed for cell lineage reconstruction and the repurposing of phylogenetic algorithms.

During development, cells undergo a sequence of specification events to form functional tissues and organs. To investigate complex tissue development, it is crucial to visualize how cell lineages emerge and to be able to manipulate regulatory factors with temporal control. We recently developed TEMPO (Temporal Encoding and Manipulation in a Predefined Order), a genetic tool to label with different colors and genetically manipulate consecutive cell generations in vertebrates.

CRISPR-Cas tools have recently been adapted for cell lineage tracing during development. Combined with single-cell RNA sequencing, these methods enable scalable lineage tracing with single-cell resolution. Here, I describe, scGESTALTv2, which combines cumulative CRISPR-Cas9 editing of a lineage barcode array with transcriptional profiling via droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

The CRISPR-activated repair lineage tracing (CARLIN) mouse line uses DNA barcoding to enable high-resolution tracing of cell lineages in vivo (Bowling et al, Cell 181, 1410-1422.e27, 2020). CARLIN mice contain expressed barcodes that allow simultaneous interrogation of lineage and gene expression information from single cells.
