Deskripsi

Epigenetic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer. Here the authors find that resetting primed human embryonic stem cells to naïve state results in the acquisition of a DNA methylation landscape that mirrors the cancer DNA methylome and provides evidence that the transition to naïve pluripotency and oncogenic transformation share common epigenetic trajectories.
