It only covers methods that involve introducing one or more reprogramming genes into an adult cell that has been genetically engineered to carry
another pluripotency gene in its genome.
Not exact matches
For example, viruses are ordinarily used to ferry
in genes to activate
pluripotency, but this foreign DNA integrates into the
genome, and experts worry that it might disrupt development or cause cancer.
We interfere with histone modification marks
in vivo, both
genome - wide (mutant analysis) and
gene - specifically (local disruption of chromatin structure), and analyze the effect on transcription and
pluripotency.
Furthermore,
genome - wide studies, combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and array hybridization (ChIP - on - chip), have revealed that both active and silenced
genes are directly bound
in ES cells by one or more of the core
pluripotency factors Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog [17], [19], [63].
