iPSC Quality Assessment Round

Current Status

We are now on Step 16 of the 18-Step of Quality Assessment Round Process.

15 FEB 2021 The manuscript is being further developed. Review of the data sets for genetic testing and characterization by flow cytometry had raised some questions about underlying assumptions and statistical analysis applied to the data in earlier drafts.

We have therefore asked a professional statistician to review the data and provide additional expert feedback which we will then incorporate into the manuscript. Participants will be given an opportunity to review the statistical analysis in the redrafted manuscript before submission.
