Abstract Random DNA barcodes are a versatile tool for tracking cell lineages, with applications ranging from development to cancer to evolution. Here, we review and critically evaluate barcode designs as well as methods of barcode sequencing and initial processing of barcode data. We first demonstrate how various barcode design decisions affect data quality and propose a new design that balances all considerations that we are currently aware of. We then discuss various options for the preparation of barcode sequencing libraries, including inline indices and Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs). Finally, we test the performance of several established and new bioinformatic pipelines for the extraction of barcodes from raw sequencing reads and for error correction. We find that both alignment and regular expression-based approaches work well for barcode extraction, and that error-correction pipelines designed specifically for barcode data are superior to generic ones. Overall, this review will help researchers to approach their barcoding experiments in a deliberate and systematic way.more » « less

We study topological entropy of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms from a perspective of persistent homology and Floer theory. We introduce barcode entropy, a Floer-theoretic invariant of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism, measuring exponential growth under iterations of the number of not-too-short bars in the barcode of the Floer complex. We prove that the barcode entropy is bounded from above by the topological entropy and, conversely, that the barcode entropy is bounded from below by the topological entropy of any hyperbolic invariant set, e.g., a hyperbolic horseshoe. As a consequence, we conclude that for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of surfaces the barcode entropy is equal to the topological entropy.more » « less

This paper is a follow-up to the authors’ recent work on barcode entropy. We study the growth of the barcode of the Floer complex for the iterates of a compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphism. In partic- ular, we introduce sequential barcode entropy which has properties similar to barcode entropy, bounds it from above and is more sensitive to the bar- code growth. In the same vein, we explore another variant of barcode entropy based on the total persistence growth and revisit the relation between the growth of periodic orbits and topological entropy. We also study the behav- ior of the spectral norm, aka the γ-norm, under iterations. We show that the γ-norm of the iterates is separated from zero when the map has sufficiently many hyperbolic periodic points and, as a consequence, it is separated from zero C ∞-generically in dimension two. We also touch upon properties of the barcode entropy of pseudo-rotations and, more generally, γ-almost periodic maps.more » « less
