Mechanisms and models of somatic cell reprogramming

TLDR
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (Jerome and Florence Brill Graduate Student Fellowship) as discussed by the authors ) was the first recipient of the WBIR grant. But this work was performed in a supervised setting.

Post-irradiation promotes susceptibility to reprogramming to pluripotent state in human fibroblasts.

TL;DR: It is found that direct irradiation negatively affected iPSC induction in a dose-dependent manner, and susceptibility to reprogramming in somatic cells might be improved by the delayed effects of non-targeted response, and contribute to a better understanding of the biological effects of radiation exposure.

Looping around Reprogramming: The Topological Memory of Induced Pluripotency.

TL;DR: 3D chromatin interaction maps before and after reprogramming are reported, providing evidence for topological memory in induced pluripotent stem cells.

Systems Biology and Stem Cell Pluripotency: Revisiting the Discovery of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell

TL;DR: This chapter revisits the discovery of the iPSCs by Yamanaka in 2006 and superimposes a data-driven systems biological approach on the data which this amazing discovery was based on to demonstrate how systems biology can complement the field of stem cell biology.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.

Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS)

TL;DR: This work presents Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq data, MACS, which analyzes data generated by short read sequencers such as Solexa's Genome Analyzer, and uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome, allowing for more robust predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Core transcriptional regulatory circuitry in human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal and how they collaborate to form regulatory circuitry consisting of autoregulatory and feedforward loops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells without Myc from mouse and human fibroblasts

TL;DR: A modified protocol for the generation of iPS cells that does not require the Myc retrovirus is described and, with this protocol, significantly fewer non-iPS background cells are obtained, and theiPS cells generated were consistently of high quality.
