Establish a rapid and efficient chemical reprogramming platform (RNA-Seq)

Chemically reprogramming somatic cells to iPSCs is time-consuming and low-efficiency. Here, we discribe a rapid chemical reprogramming condition enabling generating iPSCs from MEFs in 12 days. To further investigate the mechemisms and draw an epigenetic maps during the rapid chemical reprogramming, we performed time-course RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, RRBS and CUT&Tag (H3K4me3, H3K18la, H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and H3K27ac). Cells were collected every 2 days of reprogramming along with riPSCs and mESCs were used for RNA-seq.
