The development of a complex technology such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) requires years of
experimentation, sometimes comparing several species to learn how to create the right in …

Simple Summary In vitro embryo production using oocytes from prepubertal cattle and
buffalo collected by laparoscopy can be used to produce embryos from genetically superior …

The epigenome is dynamic and forged by epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA
methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA species …

Epigenetics refers to molecular factors and processes around DNA that can affect genome
activity and gene expression independent of DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms drive …

Early pregnancy loss markedly impacts reproductive efficiency in cattle. The objectives were
to model a biologically relevant gene signature predicting embryonic competence for …

Genomic selection combined with in vitro embryo production (IVEP) with oocytes from heifer
calves provides a powerful technology platform to reduce generation interval and …

Generating porcine embryos in vitro is a critical process for creating genetically modified
pigs as agricultural and biomedical models; however, these embryo technologies have been …

STUDY QUESTION Do parental characteristics and treatment with ART affect perinatal
outcomes in singleton pregnancies? SUMMARY ANSWER Both parental and ART treatment …

The rapid decline in fertility that has been occurring to high-producing dairy cows in the past
50 years seems to be associated with metabolic disturbances such as ketosis, supporting …

The molecular consequences of the metabolic stress caused by milk production of dairy
cows in the early embryo are largely unknown. The objective was to determine the impact of …
