A computational systems approach identifies synergistic specification genes that facilitate lineage conversion to prostate tissue

The identification of master regulator genes that may be manipulatedin vitro to regulate reprogramming has been difficult. Here, the authors use a computational systems approach to identify three genes (FoxA1, Nkx3.1and the androgen receptor) that can reprogramme fibroblasts to prostate tissue.
