Figure 2. Distinction between the differentiation state of a cell and the physiological state of a cell.

Figure 2

Embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells are used here as examples. This diagram shows that cells can have different RNA expression profiles/transcriptomes (e.g., ES1 and ES2), while maintaining their cell identity, i.e., differentiation state (e.g., ES).
