- Arabidopsis MM2d-LS
Cell Engineering Division
We are looking for the requests from users of human iPS cells
- Analysis of differentiation of certain iPS cell lines with micropatterning method
- Generation of a plasmid construct to express some marker gene (such as GFP) under the promoter of a specific gene
- Generation of a cell line in which a specific gene deletion (knockout) or a specific gene mutation is introduced in the iPS cells derived from healthy individuals etc.
