Screening for novel regulators of embryonic stem cell identity.
Two recent studies, including one in this issue of Cell Stem Cell, have identified novel regulators of embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal using genome-wide RNAi screens in mouse ESCs (Ding et al., 2009; Hu et al., 2009) and have further expanded the repertoire of factors that regulate ESC identity.
