clonal analysis

Clonal analysis is a scientific method used to study how individual cells and their descendants develop within an organism. It involves marking a single cell with a unique identifier and tracking all the cells that originate from it over time. This helps researchers understand cell growth, differentiation, and how tissues or organs form and regenerate. Clonal analysis provides insight into cellular behavior, tissue organization, and development processes, which can be important for understanding health, disease, and regenerative medicine.
