Abstract

Manipulation of cellular identity in the laboratory is generally inefficient due to stochastic events, including epigenomic alterations. Recently in Science, Zuryn etal. (2014) demonstrate that the efficiency of a naturally occurring transdifferentiation event in Caenorhabditis elegans is ensured through stepwise epigenetic modifications during specific phases of lineage conversion.
