Repeat elements study in pluripotent stem cells [expression array]. Homo sapiens

We surveyed RNA-Seq data to identify those TEs that are transcriptionally active uniquely in human pluripotent cells. We identified one endogenous retrovirus (HERV-H) family, uniquely found in primates as being unusually abundant in the transcriptome. The microarray data provided is to support our human naive cell hypothesis. Overall design: Total of 18 samples of the human ESC line H9 were analyzed for gene expression.
