Project description:To understand the mechanism underlying the versatility in transcriptional regulation by Sox2, we compared genome-wide binding sites of Sox2 in embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). A tetracycline-inducible Oct3/4 knockout ES cell line ZHBTc4 was treated with Tet for 4 days in the presence of FGF4 and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).
Project description:To compare the transcriptional networks governed by Sox2 in embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells, we performed whole-genome expression analysis after tetracycline (Tet)-induced knockout of Sox2 in each cell type.

A Tet-inducible Sox2 knockout ES cell line 2TS22C or its derivative TSC line 22CEROH2-TSC1 were treated with Tet for 4 days. A total of 12 samples from ES or TS cells cultured with or without Tet were analyzed in three biological replicates.
