Abstract

Messmer et al. demonstrate that the single-cell transcriptomes of naive and primed human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are mostly homogeneous. The study defines an expression signature that is conserved across species and shows differential epigenetic regulation between naive and primed pluripotency.
