StemCellDB: The Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Database at the National Institutes of Health

► We introduce StemCellDB, a database of molecular profiles for twenty one hESCs. ► Our search engine allows simple interrogation of gene expression levels. ► No gene expression pattern was found to be unique to either hESCs or hIPSCs. ► We present a gene list of pluripotency-associated genes. ► We show two differentiation media direct cells toward independent cell fates.
