Abstract
The study of cell lineages has been, and remains, of crucial importance in developmental biology. It requires the identification of a cell or group of cells and of all of their descendants during embryonic development. Here, we provide a brief survey of how different techniques for achieving this ha ve evolved over the last 100 years.
