The STAP stem-cell line GLS1–13 was reported as established from STAP cells prepared from genomic Oct4 fragments (GOF) mice (B6 background) carrying the Oct4-gfp transgene<10> in 2012. All these cell lines have a large truncation with a terminal inverted repeat in one of two X chromosomes (Extended Data Fig. 2a). An identical X chromosome was found in GOF-ES, an ntES cell line established from GOF mice in 2011, but not in parental GOF mice. It is unlikely that such a peculiar X chromosome abnormality would occur independently, strongly suggesting that the GLS lines were derived from the GOF-ES.

GOFマウスってgenomic Oct4 fragmentsの略なのね。2003年にOhbo, K.さんらが自分たちの研究のために開発してたマウスね。こっちの論文のアブストも貼って置いた方がいいのかな。

Abstract
The stem cell properties of gonocytes and prospermatogonia at prepubertal stages are still largely unknown: it is not clear whether gonocytes and prospermatogonia are a special cell type or similar to adult undifferentiated spermatogonia. To characterize these cells, we have established transgenic mice carrying EGFP (enhanced green fluorescence protein) cDNA under control of an Oct4 18-kb genomic fragment containing the minimal promoter and proximal and distal enhancers; Oct4 is reported to be expressed in undifferentiated spermatogonia at prepubertal stages. Generation of transgenic mice enabled us to purify gonocytes and prospermatogonia from the somatic cells of the testis. Transplantation studies of testicular cells so far have been done with a mixture of germ cells and somatic cells. This is the first report that establishes how to purify germ cells from total testicular cells, enabling evaluation of cell-autonomous repopulating activity of a subpopulation of prospermatogonia. We show that prospermatogonia differ markedly from adult spermatogonia in both the size of the KIT-negative population and cell cycle characteristics. The GFP(+) KIT(-) fraction of prospermatogonia has much higher repopulating activity than does the GFP(+)KIT(+) population in the adult environment. Interestingly, the GFP(+)KIT(+) population still exhibits repopulating activity, unlike adult KIT-positive spermatogonia. We also show that ALCAM, activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule, is expressed transiently in gonocytes. Sertoli cells and myoid cells also express ALCAM at the same stage, suggesting that ALCAM may contribute to gonocyte-Sertoli cell adhesion and migration of gonoyctes toward the basement membrane.

a, SNP patterns of STAP stem cells, Fgf4-induced stem cells and related ES cells as revealed by WGS. Chromosomes 1–19 and X are aligned from left to right. All cell lines and mouse strains except for STAP stem cell GLS1, GOF-ES and GOF-mouse are male. 129/GFP ES cells and the re-sequenced control DNA of STAP cells for ChIP-seq (Fig. 4 in ref. 2) are also shown. B6-homozygous, B6/129-heterozygous and 129-homozygous SNPs are shown in magenta, green and blue, respectively. Note that ntESG1 and ntESG2 inherited the B6-type X chromosome from maternal mice. Genomic regions in which FES1 and FES2 ES cells have different SNP clusters in chromosomes (chromosomes 6, 11 and 12) are marked by red rectangles. See b, c and Fig. 1b for a high-resolution map. SNP resolution is 10 Mb.
ここで、今我々が問題にしているGLS等のSNPsパターンは1,2と13段目だけどどこにも違いが分からないね。桂報告では親のSNPsパターンと違っていたというがどこで見分ければいいのかね。見分けられないものをデータとして持ってきたのかい?
