Classification Test Result Data

Morphology Photography Normal iPSC-like morphology Fig. 1 Panel A
Phenotype Quantitative analysis: RT-qPCR Positive expression of undifferentiated iPSC state markers Nanog, Sox2, and Oct3/4 in the two DM1 lines and absent in differentiated CMs Fig. 1 Panel B
Qualitative analysis: Immunofluorescence staining Positive expression of Nanog, Sox2, and Oct3/4 in both lines Fig. 1 Panel C
Genotype Whole genome array (KaryoStat™ Assay) Resolution 1–2 Mb] Normal karyotype: 46, XX for both lines Fig. 1 Panel E
Identity Microsatellite PCR (mPCR) or N/A N/A
STR analysis Exact match Submitted to an archive with a journal
Mutation analysis (IF APPLICABLE) Southern blot or WGS N/A N/A
Southern blot or WGS N/A N/A
Microbiology and virology Mycoplasma Mycoplasma testing by luminescence: Negative Fig. 1 Panel F
Differentiation potential Directed differentiation Positive IF staining of three germ layer markers Fig. 1 Panel D
List of recommended germ layer markers Expression of these markers has to be demonstrated at mRNA(RT-qPCR) or protein (IF) levels, at least 2 markers need to be shown per germ layer Ectoderm: Pax6, Otx2
Endoderm: Sox17, Foxa2 Mesoderm: Brachyury, Tbx6
