We show that siRNA-mediated ablation of NCOR1 and OCT4 results in very similar phenotypes, including transcriptomic changes and highly correlated high-content colony phenotypes. Both NCOR1 and OCT4 bind to promoters co-occupied by c-MYC in MEFs. During early reprogramming, downregulation of one group of somatic MEF-expressed genes requires both NCOR1 and OCT4, whereas another group of MEF-expressed genes is downregulated by NCOR1 but not OCT4. Our data suggest that NCOR1, assisted by OCT4 and c-MYC, facilitates transcriptional repression of genes with high expression in MEFs, which is necessary to bypass an early reprogramming block; this way, NCOR1 facilitates early reprogramming progression. © 2020 Peñalosa-Ruiz et al.Lightness illusions are often studied under static viewing conditions with figures varying in geometric design, containing different types of perceptual grouping and figure-ground cues. A few studies have explored the perception of lightness induction while modulating lightness illusions continuously in time, where changes in perceived lightness are often linked to the temporal modulation frequency, up to around 2-4 Hz. These findings support the concept of a cut-off frequency for lightness induction. However, another critical change (enhancement) in the magnitude of perceived lightness during slower temporal modulation conditions has not been addressed in previous temporal modulation studies. Moreover, it remains unclear whether this critical change applies to a variety of lightness illusion stimuli, and the degree to which different stimulus configurations can demonstrate enhanced lightness induction in low modulation frequencies. Therefore, we measured lightness induction strength by having participants caion exists (0.25-0.5 Hz), which instead maximally enhances lightness induction and seems to be contingent upon the prevalence of f
