Abstract

In two recent issues of Nature, Ellis et al. (2019) and Liu et al. (2019) examine mechanisms that influence clonal dynamics in the epidermis during development and homeostasis, respectively. These studies provide insight into the selection process that determines which cells expand and which cells are lost.
