The human NANOG promoter was amplified from pNanog-Luc (Addgene #25900) using the forward primer hNan-F2 (or -F1) and the reverse primer hNan-R1 (or -R2); the primers in parentheses are fluorescently labeled versions of the listed primers; see Supplementary Table 2. The 404 bp PCR fragments were purified using QIAquik Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen). The pGL-NanogP-5E minus plasmid53 (link) containing the mouse 1535 bp NANOG promoter and 1337 bp enhancer (−5 kbp from NANOG promoter) was digested with PvuI (NEB) to linearize the plasmid. The DNA fragment containing NANOG promoter and enhancer was purified using QIAquik Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen).
