Study results from Kinki University, College of Agriculture update understanding of life sciences

New investigation results, 'Gene expression in individual bovine somatic cell cloned embryos at the 8-cell and blastocyst stages of preimplantation development,' are detailed in a study published in The Journal of Reproduction and Development. According to recent research from Nara, Japan, "Aberrant gene expression in somatic cell nuclear-transferred (NT) embryos due to abnormal epigenetic modifications of the donor nucleus likely accounts for much of the observed diminished viability and developmental abnormalities. We compared the expression of 13 developmentally important genes in individual 8-cell and blastocyst stage NT embryos produced from adults female cumulus cells and...
