title: The nexus of Tet1 and the pluripotency network.
abstract: Resetting DNA methylation and reactivation of pluripotency genes are late events in the formation of iPSCs. Recent work by Costa et al. (2013) and Gao et al. (2013) has examined the role of Tet proteins in the hydroxymethylation of pluripotency genes, with the latter replacing Oct4 with Tet1 for reprogramming.
