Tree reconstruction in the presence of doublet samples. (A) Cell lineage tree with doublets (gray boxes). (B) Mutation tree with true sample attachment. Doublet samples (s3, Formula) and (s4, Formula) each attach to two different nodes. (C) Mutation matrix with combined mutation states for the doublet samples. Mutations are counted as present in a doublet sample if present in at least one of the cells. (D) A tree with a recurrence of mutation M2 and no doublets is an alternative explanation for the mutation matrix in C.
