There is a growing interest in developing experimental methods for tracking the developmental cell lineages of a complex organism.The recently developed CRISPR/Cas9-based barcoding method is,although highly promising,difficult to scale up because it relies on exogenous barcoding sequences that are engineered into the genome.In this study,we characterized 78 high-quality endogenous sites in the zebrafish genome that can be used as CRISPR/Cas9-based barcoding sites.The 78 sites are all highly expressed in most of the cell types according to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.Hence,the barcoding information of the 78 endogenous sites is recovered by the available scRNA-seq platforms,enabling simultaneous characterization of cell type and cell lineage information.
