ChIP-seq of definitive endoderm cells derived in vitro from human embryonic stem cells in order to study the role of transcription factor GATA6 in human pancreas development

Mutant GATA6 hPSCs were obtained by TALEN genome editing or re-programmed from patient fibroblasts. Along with wild-type H9 cells, these GATA6 mutant cell lines were differentiated into SOX17+/CXCR4+ endodermal cells (day 3). The purpose of this work was to study the role of GATA6 in the development of the human pancreas at a molecular level.
