Meeting with Sergio[edit]
- Our PNAS paper:
- To do:
- Thoroughly read related papers on comparing iPSC and stem cells, especially the Bock paper. Go through our manuscript and make sure that all related papers are cited and referenced correctly.
- We need to perform BSPP on more hESC lines and more iPSC lines if possible.
- We will need to re-sequence the original 14 samples from Sergio.
- I went through my boxes and asked both Noi and Alice for the genomic DNA. I have only some converted gDNA which I've kept at -80C. Noi did not handle any of the original 14 samples. The 14 samples' gDNA were kept by Alice, but we don't have any gDNA for several of the samples.
- We need to do a comparison of our sites with the Bock paper.
- I downloaded the full RRBS dataset (wig files with methylation fraction for each CpG.)
- Next I will make a methylation matrix from their sites and our sites together,
- Can a comparison be made across different technologies? If so, this is a positive thing for our assay.
- Additionally, can we also see iPS clustering separately from hESC at our aberrantly methylated sites? - If so, we can use their data as "validation" for ours.
- We need to move the current Figure 1 and make a new Figure 1.
- One of the major contribution of our paper is that we are using iPSCs from multiple somatic sources.
