Unraveling the lineage relationships of all descendants from a zygote is fundamental to advancing our understanding of developmental and stem cell biology.However,existing cell barcoding technologies in zebrafish lack the resolution to capture the majority of cell divisions during embryogenesis.A recently developed method,a substitution mutation-aided lineage-tracing system(SMALT),successfully recon-structed high-resolution cell phylogenetic trees for Drosophila melanogaster.Here,we implement the SMALT system in zebrafish,recording a median of 14 substitution mutations on a one-kilobase-pair bar-coding sequence for one-day post-fertilization embryos.Leveraging this system,we reconstruct four cell lineage trees for zebrafish fin cells,encompassing both original and regenerated fin.Each tree consists of hundreds of internal nodes with a median bootstrap support of 99%.Analysis of the obtained cell lineage trees reveals that regenerated fin cells mainly originate from cells in the same part of the fins.Through multiple times sampling germ cells from the same individual,we show the stability of the germ cell pool and the early separation of germ cell and somatic cell progenitors.Our system offers the potential for recon-structing high-quality cell phylogenies across diverse tissues,providing valuable insights into development and disease in zebrafish.
