This second edition provides techniques used to study of the underlying transcriptional programs of stem cells that promote self-renewal and differentiation. Chapters detail next-generation sequencing technologies, data analysis, protocols on analysis and visualization of single-cell RNA-Seq data, analysis of 3D chromatin architecture, interpretation of large-scale interaction networks, transcriptional networks in embryonic and adult stem cells, derivation of stem cells, and transcriptional programs that promote reprogramming, transdifferentiation, and cancer formation. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Stem Cell Transcriptional Network: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition aims to provide a key resource for biologists seeking to interrogate these vital networks.
