Summary (written by the submitters)

The application of human embryonic stem (ES) cells has an inherent reliance on understanding the starting cell population. Human ES cells differ from mouse ES cells and the specific embryonic origin of both cell types is unclear. Previous work suggested that mouse ES cells could only be obtained from the embryo prior to implantation in the uterus.

Here we show that cell lines can be derived from the epiblast, a tissue of the post-implantation embryo that generates the embryo proper. These cells, which we refer to as EpiSCs (post-implantation epiblast-derived stem cells), express transcription factors known to regulate pluripotency, maintain their genomic integrity, and robustly differentiate into the major somatic cell types as well as primordial germ cells (PGCs). The post-ES cell lines are distinct from mouse ES cells in their epigenetic state and the signals controlling their differentiation. Furthermore, post-ES and human ES cells share patterns of gene expression and signalling responses that normally function in the epiblast. These results show that epiblast cells can be maintained as stable cell lines and interrogated to understand how pluripotent cells generate distinct fates during early development. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need.

All supplementary files ↗

3 · The original raw files

Whole study · RAW.tar

Everything the authors deposited as one archive (GSE7902_RAW.tar), including the raw array or instrument files. Can be large; the picker in step 2 takes just the samples you need.

Whole study · RAW.tar ↓

What the files usually look like: For arrays the series matrix is normally the normalised expression table you want; the raw array files (CEL and similar) are in the RAW.tar.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA99953. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
