Construction and validation of a regulatory network for pluripotency and self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells.

A 30-node signed and directed network responsible for self-renewal and pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) was extracted from several ChIP-Seq and knockdown followed by expression prior studies. The underlying regulatory logic among network components was then learned using the initia...
