With Red2Onco, the oncogenic mutant clones (Red clones), and normal or wild-type clones (Yellow or Cyan clones) can be labeled in the same tissue. The mutant clones expand considerably faster than wild-type clones, suggesting field expansion of the mutant clones. Images acquired after 6 months of tissue lineage tracing. Credit: Yum/IMBA
