RNA-seq of naive and primed ES cells (NHSM). Homo sapiens

Here we propose a set of molecular criteria for evaluating the naive human pluripotent state. We show by RNA-seq that transcription of transposable elements provides a sensitive measure of the concordance between pluripotent stem cells and early human development. Overall design: RNA-seq of 3 naive ES samples in NHSM (Gafni et al.) and 3 primed ES cell samples (in hESM)
