1 Is this specific for zebrafish? Or can we learn how to drive stem cells into specific cell types in mammals?

2 Overexpression of mouse Pou5f1 rescues zebrafish embryos mutant for Pou5f1 Evolutionary conservation of function

3 Mouse and zebrafish Pou5f1 share targets: Comparison with mouse Oct4 target sets (genes with homology info only): Sharov et al, BMC Genomics 2008 (Matoba et al., 2006 and Loh et al., 2006) 453 49 406 zebrafish mouse
