Comprehensive gene expression analysis of human embryonic stem cell during differentiation into neural cells. Homo sapiens

In this research we have done a comprehensive transcripteome analysis of hESC differentiation at three different stages: early neural differentiation, neural ectoderm, and mature neurons. We detected and validated time-dependent gene expression patterns and represented that the gene expression patterns exhibit early ESC differentiation. Pathway analysis revealed dynamic expression patterns of members of several signaling pathways. Overall design: The hESC cells were passaged every 7 days using collagenase/dispase and cultured under feeder-free culture conditions on Matrigel in hESC medium. Three biological replicates per time point served as the input to generate biotin-labeled cRNA using a linear amplification kit.
