Polylox barcoding reveals haematopoietic stem cell fates realized in vivo
Open accessAbstract
Developmental deconvolution of complex organs and tissues at the level of individual cells remains challenging. Non-invasive genetic fate mapping has been widely used, but the low number of distinct fluorescent marker proteins limits its resolution. Much higher numbers of cell markers have been generated using viral integration sites, viral barcodes, and strategies based on transposons and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing; however, temporal and tissue-specific induction of barcodes in situ has not been achieved. Here we report the development of an artificial DNA recombination locus (termed Polylox) that enables broadly applicable endogenous barcoding based on the Cre-loxP recombination system. Polylox recombination in situ reaches a practical diversity of several hundred thousand barcodes, allowing tagging of single cells. We have used this experimental system, combined with fate mapping, to assess haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fates in vivo. Classical models of haematopoietic lineage specification assume a tree with few major branches. More recently, driven in part by the development of more efficient single-cell assays and improved transplantation efficiencies, different models have been proposed, in which unilineage priming may occur in mice and humans at the level of HSCs. We have introduced barcodes into HSC progenitors in embryonic mice, and found that the adult HSC compartment is a mosaic of embryo-derived HSC clones, some of which are unexpectedly large. Most HSC clones gave rise to multilineage or oligolineage fates, arguing against unilineage priming, and suggesting coherent usage of the potential of cells in a clone. The spreading of barcodes, both after induction in embryos and in adult mice, revealed a basic split between common myeloid-erythroid development and common lymphocyte development, supporting the long-held but contested view of a tree-like haematopoietic structure.

TL;DR
The authors developed Polylox, an artificial Cre-loxP recombination cassette that enables endogenous DNA barcoding with a practical diversity of several hundred thousand barcodes in situ. Using Polylox to fate-map haematopoietic stem cells in mice, they found that adult HSC clones are often multilineage or oligolineage and that haematopoiesis follows a bifurcating myelo-erythroid versus common lymphoid structure.
Key findings
- Polylox recombination can generate 1,866,868 distinct codes in silico, with all codes reachable by 10 recombination events; experimentally, 52% of reads from 30,000 splenic B cells were recombined and 849 different barcodes were identified.
- Adult bone marrow HSC were a mosaic of embryo-derived clones: >95% of adult HSC had recombined barcodes after E9.5 tamoxifen induction, and 14 high-confidence single-progenitor barcodes gave adult clone sizes from 0.2% to 3.8%, including clones above 1.5%.
- Most HSC clones gave multilineage or oligolineage fates, arguing against unilineage priming; among 117 peripheral barcodes, 54 were represented in all assayed lineages and 44 in several lineages.
- Barcode concordance revealed a basic split between common myeloid-erythroid development and common lymphocyte development, with B1a as a distinct lineage within the lymphoid branch; CMP barcodes were found in both EryP and granulocytes with highly correlated frequencies, but about 1/3 of EryP and granulocyte barcodes were undetected in CMP.
Methods
- Polylox consists of ten loxP sites in alternating orientations spaced 178 bp apart, flanking nine unique DNA segments derived from the Arabidopsis thaliana AT2G21770 gene; it was targeted into the Rosa26 locus in ES cells and mice.
- In vivo barcoding used Rosa26Polylox/CreERT2 or Rosa26PolyloxTie2MCM mice, with tamoxifen induction in embryos at E9.5 or in adult mice; sorted cell populations were analyzed by PCR and single molecule real time (SMRT) sequencing across the Polylox locus.
- Barcodes were decoded by aligning the nine forward and reverse-complement segments to circular consensus reads; barcode generation probabilities (Pgen) were computed with a Markov chain model over all possible excisions and inversions.
Limitations
- The paper states that barcodes may be missed in samples, so the range of fates acquired by particular clones may sometimes be underestimated; it also states that it cannot formally conclude that individual cells within a clone underwent multilineage differentiation.
- The paper notes that the quantitative output of adult HSC is controversial, that adult sampling repeats showed lower overlap indicating overall smaller clone sizes, and that paucity of barcodes in CLP precluded robust correlation analysis.
- The Methods state that no randomization was done, no blinding was done, no animals were excluded, and no statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
