    • Ivanova N, Dobrin R, Lu R, et al. Dissecting self-renewal in stem cells with RNA interference. Nature 2006; 442:533-538. An elegant approach is introduced to utilize RNA interference as a tool to identify genes that govern the self-renewal process of murine embryonic stem cells. This study has far-reaching implications for investigations addressing somatic stem cells.

This paper introduces an elegant genetic model to screen tumor suppressor gene mutations caused by random insertion of replication-competent MLV. The approach may be applicable to test the risk for tumor suppressor gene mutation by gene vector integration.
