epigenomic reprogramming common to iPSCs. Fifth, both memory CG-DMRs and iDMRs are transmitted through differentiation of the iPSCs at a high frequency, indicating that the disrupted DNA methylation states are not simply a transient aberration during the pluripotent state. The identification of hundreds of CG-DMRs that cannot be erased by passaging and are frequently transmitted through cellular differentiation has immediate consequences for the derivation and use of iPSCs.
