DIFFERENTIALLY METHYLATED REGIONS OF REPROGRAMMED INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS, METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF

摘要

Provided herein are differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of reprogrammed iPS cells (R-DMRs) and methods of use thereof. The invention provides methods for detecting and analyzing alterations in the methylation status of DMRs in iPS cells, somatic cells and embryonic stem (ES) cells as well as methods for reprogramming somatic cells to generate an iPS cell.
