Human memory and marginal zone B cells share some features including CD27 expression and somatic hypermutation, but their lineage relationship is still unclear. Here the authors use mass cytometry and sequential clustering methods to show that, despite their shared features, memory and marginal zone B cells represent distinct lineage choices.
