Analysis of the Transcription Factor Network Governing Establishment of Pluripotency in Somatic Cells
Research Project Outline
It is a mystery why the combination of few transcription factors is suffi cient to establish pluripotency in somatic cells. In this research project, we will try to disclose this mystery by analys-ing the structure of the transcription factor network encoded by the genome.
