Similar gene expression profiles of ESC-like cells and mESCs with germ cell-enriched and pluripotency associated genes. (a) Dendrogram and (b) PCA clearly demonstrate that ESC-like cells and mESCs are similar to each other but distinct to fibroblasts which localize in separated trees or areas. (c) Heat map shows array of pluripotency and germ cell associated genes with a cluster of ESC-like cells and mESCs (both underlined with orange bar), while fibroblasts cluster in a separate tree (underlined with black bar).
