Five more years of Nature Biotechnology research.

The article provides information on the most important advances in biotechnology that were published in the 2005 to 2010 issues of "Nature Biotechnology." It says that the creation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells is one of the most important discoveries, which Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University showed by inserting transcription factors into cultured mouse fibroblasts that could make them act like embryonic stem cells. The author adds that George Church of Harvard University in Massachusetts compared epigenomes and genomes across samples in 2009.
