What's special about stem cells?

Using molecular profiling to look at gene activity







  • What genes appear to have different RNA levels in ES compared to iPS cells?
    • CR1 (iPS level is higher than ES level)
    • NPTX1 (iPS level is lower than ES level)
  • What genes appear to have different RNA levels in Whitehead stem cells compared to UCLA stem cells?
    • PRTG (level is higher in Whitehead stem cells)
    • DNAJC3 (level is higher in Whitehead stem cells)
    • ELK4 (level is higher in Whitehead stem cells)
    • RPAIN (level is higher in UCLA stem cells)
    • CDK1 (level is higher in UCLA stem cells)
