Recent research has shown that adult mouse and human cells can be transformed, or "reprogrammed" into a primitive, stem-cell state, but the process is inefficient and poorly understood. Now, thanks to the application of powerful new integrative genomic tools, scientists have uncovered significant new information about the molecular changes that underlie the direct reprogramming process.
