This protocol describes an in vitro model using pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), for early human development simulating key events leading to gastrulation. Gain and loss of competency for the specification of primordial germ cells (PGCs) occurs in the course of mesendoderm (ME) differentiation, a common precursor for definitive endoderm (DE) and mesoderm. This model is also applicable to cynomolgus monkey PSCs (cmPSCs). The observations suggest conserved principle for peri-gastrulation development of the epiblast. The protocol is suitable for investigations relating to early postimplantation development and mechanisms of early cell fate decisions in primates.
