Somatic Cell Cloning for Livestock and Endangered Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has now been 15 years since the first cloned sheep was born using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This technique provides a unique tool for preservation of valuable individuals, livestock propagation, genetically modified animals, production research of biomedicine and conservation of endangered species. In this review, research of the SCNT in livestock and endangered species, including our current work, will be discussed.

P-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 کاملI-19: Identifying and Overcoming an Epigenetic Barrier for SCNT Reprogramming
Background Despite successful cloning of many mammalian species, the cloning efficiency is extremely low compared to that of IVF raising the possibility of the existence of epigenetic barrier preventing successful cloning. MaterialsAndMethods Using comparative transcriptome analysis comparing transcriptomes of IVF and SCNT embryos and that of donor cells, we identified epigenetic barrier and fi...
