ATT Clonal Biology enthusiasts. Next year's OzSingleCell Omics #OzSingleCell23 is for you! Cellular barcoding, cell history recorders, fate determinism, pedigree analysis, clonal memory, new comp methods. Viewing biology through the lens of clones c.f. cells only. So much to discuss!

Seems like there are relatively few applications where bulk is preferable to single cell now surely??!
