Molecular analyses of iPS cells. High throughput analyses of mRNA, protein, DNA methylation and non-coding RNA of fully pluripotent and non-fully pluripotent mouse iPS cells would assist our understanding of the pluripotency regulation of iPS cells. iPS cell lines derived from the same somatic cell, but with varying differentiation potentials should be used, and a sample pool consisting of various iPS cell groups derived from multiple cell types should be used to reach a consensus on iPS cell pluripotency.
