scDynaBar: A Step-By-Step Experimental and Computational Guide for Time-Resolved CRISPR Barcoding at Single-Cell Resolution
scDynaBar:单细胞时间分辨 CRISPR 条形码技术的实验与计算分析指南
CRISPR-Cas9 barcoding technologies enable cells to record molecular events as permanent genetic changes that can be read out retrospectively. This protocol describes the implementation of a CRISPR-based recording system that gradually accumulates mutations over extended periods and is compatible with standard single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) workflows. By temporally regulating CRISPR activity, the system generates mutational barcodes that can be captured together with individual cell transcriptomes. These barcodes are subsequently decoded using computational reconstruction approaches to infer temporal information, enabling the joint analysis of cellular states and time-resolved molecular histories. This approach provides a single-cell-compatible framework for studying dynamic biological processes in heterogeneous mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC)-derived systems, with potential extension to other biological systems.
