The efficiency of porcine somatic nuclear transfer (born piglets/transferred embryos) is low.
Here, we report a highly efficient protocol using peripubertal gilts as recipients synchronized …

The low efficiency in obtaining piglets after production of cloned embryos was challenged in
two steps—first by performing in vitro culture for 5–6 days after cloning to obtain later-stage …

The successful generation of pigs via somatic cell nuclear transfer depends on reducing risk
factors in several aspects. To provide an overview of some influencing factors related to …

Nuclear transplantation in the pig is more difficult than in other domestic animals and only
one embryonic nuclear transplantation (NT) pig has been born to date. In this study …

To date, the efficiency of pig cloning by nuclear transfer of somatic cell nuclei has been
extremely low, with less than 1% of transferred embryos surviving to term. Even the …

Nuclear transfer (NT) is a procedure by which genetically identical individuals can be
created. The applications of these NT techniques will be in agriculture, biomedicine, and …

This study was performed to improve production efficiency at the level of recipient pig and
donor nuclei of transgenic cloned pigs used for xenotransplantation. To generate transgenic …

Currently, cloning efficiency in pigs is very low. Donor cell type and number of cloned
embryos transferred to an individual surrogate are two major factors that affect the …

Miniature pigs have been recognized as valuable experimental animals in various fields
such as medical and pharmaceutical research. However, the amount of information on …

The somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique could be used to produce genetically
superior or genetically engineered cloned pigs that have wide application in agriculture and …
