Abstract excerpt
The activation of endogenous Oct4 transcription is a key step in the reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells but until now it has been difficult to analyze this critical event in the reprogramming process. We have generated a transgenic mouse that expresses the tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase MerCreMer under the control of the endogenous Oct4 locus, enabling lineage tracing of...
