Computational Methods to Identify Cell-Fate Determinants, Identity Transcription Factors, and Niche-Induced Signaling Pathways for Stem Cell Research.

TL;DR: This chapter will provide an overview of various computational approaches that rely on single-cell and/or bulk RNA sequencing data for elucidating the molecular underpinnings of cell subpopulation identities, lineage specification, and the process of cell-fate decisions.

Predicting reprogramming-related gene expression from cell morphology in human induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: In this paper , the relationship between gene expression levels and morphology was investigated by analyzing live-cell, phase-contrast images and mRNA profiles collected during the purification process of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).

TGFβ inhibition and mesenchymal to epithelial transition initiation by Xenopus egg extract: first steps towards early reprogramming in fish somatic cell

TL;DR: Xenopus egg extract is a powerful material to modify cultured cells fate and to induce cellular reprogramming in mammals as mentioned in this paper , and it has been shown to induce mesenchymal-epithelial transition in goldfish fin cells.

The serine 106 residue within the N-terminal transactivation domain is crucial for Oct4 function in mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Ser-106 residue within the N-terminal transactivation domain is crucial for Oct4 function and suggested that this mutation might affect Oct4 protein conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pluripotency-Associated microRNAs in Early Vertebrate Embryos and Stem Cells

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compare and discuss the impact of stem-cell-specific miRNA clusters on the maintenance and regulation of early embryonic development, pluripotency, and self-renewal of embryonic stem cells, particularly in vertebrates.

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.
