Stem cell marker genes common between all normal stem cells and GBM culture datasets (GSE68270, GSE70696, GSE99777, GSE93991 and GSE114574), consisted of 7 proliferation genes or DEGs (ACYP1, AKAP12, LRP11, MYSM1, SLC20A1, TERT, TSPAN13) and 5 quiescence genes or DEGs (ETHE1, FZD9, NINJ1, P2RX4, PTP4A3) (Tables 3, 4). Here, TERT is linked to glioblastoma.
