Genetic Clues to Stem Cells

Genetic clues to stem cells’ unlimited potential
As an embryologist, Ali H. Brivanlou wants to know every genetic route taken by a small mass of undifferentiated, or unformed, embryonic cells as they develop into an organism. Now he knows. The first atlas, or map, of genes associated with early human development was published on-line this week in Developmental Biology. With Brivanlou at the lead, a group of molecular vertebrate embryologists and statisticians at The Rockefeller University created the guide, which will be systematically used to study human development and the potential clinical usefulness of human embryonic stem cells. The publication will appear in print on August 15.
