Cloning Bovine Embryos: Current Status and Future Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloning animals entails transferring the nucleus of a cell obtained from the individual to be cloned into an unfertilized ovum that has had its metaphase chromosomes removed. If successful, the transferred nucleus is re-programmed so to direct development of a new embryo that is genetically identical to the animal from which the cell was obtained. This embryo can then be transferred into a surrogate mother for gestation to term and birth of a clone.

I-12: Nuclear Reprogramming in Bovin Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT or cloning) returns a differentiated cell to a totipotent status; a process termed nuclear reprogramming. Reproductive cloning has potential applications in both agriculture and biomedicine, but is limited by low efficiency. To understand the deficiencies of nuclear reprogramming, our research has focused on both candidate genes and global gene expression pat...
متن کاملP-86: Production of Cloned Mice by Somaticm Cell Nuclear Transfer
Background: For several years, mammalian cloning by splitting an early embryo or nuclear transfer into oocytes method has been successfully performed. Cloning is now also possible using adult somatic cells. Although it has now been 15 years since the first cloned mammals were generated from somatic cells using nuclear transfer (NT), the success rate for producing live offspring by cloning is lo...

متن کاملThe Effect of Different Voltages and Durations on Developmental Rate of Electrofused two Cell Bovine Tetraploid Embryo
Purpose: The values of embryonic stem-like cell and cloning are evident. Production of cloned tissue and animals can be achieved by aggregation and injection of these cells into a tetrapolid morula and blastocyst respectively. Tetraploid embryo is used as a feeder for growth and development of stem-like cell can be produced in vitro by electrofusion of two-cell embryos. The aim of this study wa...
