Pronuclear injection of DNA Typewriter into a fertilized mouse egg

Caption

DNA Typewriter is injected into the genetic material of a fertilized mouse egg. This technology taps into the genetic material in the fertilized egg and resulting embryonic cells as a recording device of the cells' histories. It tracks their relationships as the embryo develops.
