PhOTO zebrafish: a transgenic resource for in vivo lineage tracing during development and regeneration.

<h4>Background</h4>Elucidating the complex cell dynamics (divisions, movement, morphological changes, etc.) underlying embryonic development and adult tissue regeneration requires an efficient means to track cells with high fidelity in space and time. To satisfy this criterion, we develo...
