To study how far intra-generational cell-cycle correlations extend within cell pedigrees, we generated extensive lineage trees by imaging and tracking TET21N neuroblastoma cells for up to ten generations during exponential growth (Figure 1A, Figure 1—video 1, Figure 1—source data 1 and Figure 1—figure supplement 1A). Autonomous cycling of these cells is controlled by ectopic expression of the MYC-family oncogene MYCN, overcoming the restriction point and thus mimicking the presence of mitogenic stimuli (Ryl et al., 2017). The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is neuroblastoma.
