Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gene chips used in the techniques developed by Yamanaka and colleagues for induced pluripotent stem cells reveal gene expression differences between embryonic stem cells and nonstem cells. This allows for the identification of genes that are important for maintaining pluripotency and the reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells. The gene chips do not reveal DNA sequence variants and do not induce gene expression in stem cells.
