Most in vitro culture conditions are less‐than‐optimal for embryo development. Here, we
used a transcriptional‐profiling database to identify culture‐induced differences in gene …

Background Infertility in dairy cattle is a concern where reduced fertilization rates and high
embryonic loss are contributing factors. Studies of the paternal contribution to reproductive …

In this study, we determined how maternal dietary supplementation with pyridoxine
combined with different sources of selenium (Se) affected global gene expression of porcine …

Maternal nutrition during pregnancy can induce epigenetic alterations in the fetal genome,
such as changes in DNA methylation. It remains unclear whether these epigenetic …

In nonruminants, nutrition during pregnancy can program offspring development,
metabolism, and health in later life. Rumen-protected Met (RPM) supplementation during the …

Maternal perinatal nutrition may program offspring metabolic features. Epigenetic regulation
is one of the candidate mechanisms that may be affected by maternal dietary methyl donors …

Maternal intake of B-vitamin and methyl donors can affect sow prolificacy. A total of 1079
Large White/Landrace sows (parities 2–9 at mating) were used in a 2 by 2 by 2 factorial …

Early embryonic loss and altered gene expression in in vitro produced blastocysts are
believed to be partly caused by aberrant DNA methylation. However, specific embryonic …

Isolated PMNL from neonatal calves were used to evaluate the effect of Met, choline, and
taurine supplementation on mRNA expression of genes related to the Met cycle and innate …

Background Aberrant DNA methylation patterns of genes required for development are
common in in vitro produced embryos. In this regard, we previously identified altered DNA …
