SALL4 maintains self-renewal of porcine pluripotent stem cells through downregulation of OTX2
Sall4 as one of the spalt family members contains several alternative splicing variants, which are differentially expressed and has a key role in maintaining pluripotent stem cells.However, the molecular features and function of SALL4 have not been well elucidated in porcine induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs).In this study, we identified SALL4
