After the embryonic stem cells grew and changed for two weeks, the researchers isolated the cells that flashed green.

The researchers next conducted a variety of tests to confirm that the green fluorescing cells behaved like germ cells.

Once convinced that their cells were in fact germ cells, the researchers turned on and off several candidate genes to see if those genes played a role in the development of stem cells into immature germ cells.

And they found that one candidate gene, called DAZL, was necessary to transform embryonic stem cells into germ cells.

The results of the study were published online in Nature.
