Supplementary Figure 1 Recombination within the neurogenic lineage is clonal and specific to NSCs.

(a) Relative abundance of distinct cell types within the recombined population, assessed 1.3 days (i.e. 32 hrs) after a single i.p. injection of 50μg/g of Tamoxifen (n=38 cells analyzed, from n=3 animals). (b) Example of initially recombined GFAP+ NSC with radial morphology (arrowheads point to radial GFAP+ process). (c) Representative TAP cluster positive for Ki67 (single focal section and orthogonal views in c´, c´´), lacking expression of Dcx and GFAP. (d) Graphs depicting the probability of observing activated clones as observed experimentally (blue; n=24 clones from n=54 hemispheres) and as predicted by mathematical modelling using the 10 μg/g Tm dose data set. (e) Predicted and the observed number of recombined NSCs (radial astrocytes; n=17,22,7,2 hemispheres analyzed per time point) at different time points, used to calculate the probabilities of clonal superimposition at different time points after induction. (f) Normalized observed (single data points) and simulated (curve) abundance of quiescent NSCs (qNSCs) over time; inset shows the deviation between predicted and observed values as a function of qNSC activation probability. Experimental data in d,f (inset) are shown as mean ± s.e.m. Simulation in f run using pc=0.0015 (black line) ± 0.0004 (gray shading) day−1. Scale bars 20μm.

Supplementary Figure 2 Recombination within the neurogenic lineage is specific to NSCs and allows dissection of clonal expansion dynamics.

(a) Micrographs depicting a TAP doublet 3dpi. (b) Clone size and composition for all observed clones at the indicated time points (n=51 clones, from n=105 hemispheres. (c) Average (histograms) and individual (circles) clone size values per clone class, for each time point analyzed(n=2,7,1,2,12,9,3,2,3,7,3 clones, respectively). (d) Average number of regional bins (as defined in Fig. 1i) occupied by TAPs/NBs belonging to “emerging” and “mature” clones, across all time points (n=23,13 clones analyzed). (e) Two examples of NB (clone#1) and NB/TAP (clone#2) cluster distributions within the SEZ; sagittal views of sections corresponding to the indicated mediolateral positions (SEZ in yellow). (f) Average SEZ occupancy (% of SEZ-containing sagittal sections) by clusters of TAPs and NBs, for all clones (n=11,14 clones analyzed, respectively). (g) Subclonal birthdating paradigm (above) and number, spatial distribution and identity of birth-dated cells in a single clone (histogram). (h) Examples of clonally related cells belonging to young (left) and old NSC progeny cohorts(right). (i) Example of clustered BrdU/Ki67-labeled NSC and associated progeny. (j) Size of TAP-only, TAP/NB mixed and NB-only clusters/clones found in the indicated distinct regions. Y-axis values are the base-2 logarithm of individual cluster sizes (circles) and of the average cluster size (bars; n=5,5,10,15 clusters analyzed, respectively). Scale bars 20μm. Data in c, g are shown as mean ± s.e.m.

Supplementary Figure 3 Multiple cellular mechanisms underlay generation of neuronal diversity.

(a) Histogram showing the average total clonal size (red bars) and neuron number (blue bars) for clone types as defined by their neuronal composition (n=2,2,1,15,1,1,1,3,2 clones analyzed, respectively). (b) Metrics of OB subtype abundance, indicating the relative abundance of a given neuronal subtype in clones containing it (blue bars) and the abundance of the clones containing the various subtypes (green bars; n=22, 1, 7, 5, 5 clones analyzed, respectively). (c) Average size (red bars) and neuron number (blue bars) for clones containing one, two or three distinct neuronal subtypes (n=22, 5, 1 clones analyzed, respectively). Data are shown as mean ± s.e.m.
