Comparative parallel multi-omics analysis during the induction of pluripotent and trophectoderm states.

Following fertilization, it is only at the 32-64-cell stage when a clear segregation between cells of the inner cell mass and trophectoderm is observed, suggesting a 'T'-shaped model of specification. Here, we examine whether the acquisition of these two states in vitro, by nuclear reprogramming, share similar dynamics/trajectories. Using a comparative parallel multi-omics analysis (i.
