The oocyte is known from recent studies in the mouse, cow, sheep and human to be a
central regulator of follicular cell function. However, in the pig, little information is known …

The human insulin-like growth factor type 2 receptor gene (IGF2R) is biallelically expressed
in a variety of fetal and adult tissues. In contrast, the imprinted mouseIgf2rgene is expressed …

In vitro production of porcine embryos has become routine in most laboratories but the yield
and quality of the resultant blastocysts remain suboptimal. Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) is an …

We have developed a novel reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR)‐
based approach for systematically quantifying in a single experiment the abundances of …

The developmental ability and gene expression pattern at 8-to 16-cell and blastocyst stages
of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) nuclear transfer (NT) embryos from fetal fibroblasts (FFs) …

Abstract A quantitative RT‐PCR approach has been used to examine the expression of a
number of X‐linked genes during preimplan‐tation development of normal mouse embryos …

Our group found that the treatment of embryos with histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi),
including trichostatin A, Scriptaid, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, and oxamflatin, after …

Haploid embryos have contributed significantly to our understanding of the role of parental
genomes in development and can be applied to important biotechnology for human and …

Activation of the embryonic genome during preimplantation mouse development entails a
dramatic reprogramming of the pattern of gene expression. The complement of transcription …

This review on the effect of imprinted genes on development of the mouse conceptus
focuses on the following:(1) development of androgenetic and gynogenetic uniparental …
