Abstract Background Mammalian stem cells are difficult to access experimentally model systems that can regenerate offer an alternative way to characterize stem cell related genes. Planarian regeneration depends on adult pluripotent stem cells - the neoblasts. These cells can be selectively destroyed using X-rays enabling comparison of organisms lacking stem cells with wild-type worms. Results Using a genomic approach we produced an oligonucleotide microarray chip the Dj600 chip which was designed using selected planarian gene sequences. Using this chip we compared planarians treated with high doses of X-rays which eliminates all neoblasts with wild-type worms which led to identification of
