We use transposon-based clonal analysis to identify the lineage classes that make the adult zebrafish caudal fin.

These lineage classes argue for distinct progenitors, or organ founding stem cells (FSCs), for each lineage, which retain fate restriction throughout growth of the fin. Thus, distinct ...[more]
