<p>The present invention provides methods, nucleic acids and molecular markers for the detection of chondrycytes. Specifically, it describes particular genes and genomic regions, in particular the genes FMOD, C15ORF27 and HIF1A, in which DNA methylation patterns are a consistent and characteristic property of different cell types, states and stages of differentiation. The invention is useful in determining the identity, composition, quality and potency of cells and cell populations. Furthermore, the invention will be useful in monitoring the differentiation of cells.</p> |
