Digital gene expression profiling by 5'-end sequencing of mRNAs during reprogramming in the moss Physcomitrella patens

After leaves of the moss Physcomitrella patens are excised, leaf cells reenter the cell cycle and commence tip growth, which is characteristic of stem cells called chloronema apical cells. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, a digital gene expression profiling method using mRNA 5'-end tags (5'-DGE) was established. none provided
