Krüppel-like zinc finger proteins form one of the largest families of transcription factors. They
function as key regulators of embryonic development and a wide range of other …

Two technologies, in vitro culture and exogenous gene introduction, constitute cornerstones
of producing transgenic animals. Although in vitro embryo production techniques can …

Abstract obesity has been a problem in the last decades since the development of certain
technologies has led to a faster pace of life, resulting in nutritional changes. domestic pigs …

Simple Summary Vitrification is a commonly used cryopreservation technique that has
played an important role in the preservation of animal genetic resources and assisted …

Early embryonic development relies on the maternal RNAs and newly synthesized proteins
during oogenesis. Zygotic transcription is an important event occurring at a specific time after …

Pluripotency-associated transcription factors (PATFs) modulate gene expression during
early mammalian embryogenesis. Despite a strong understanding of PATFs during mouse …

Past and ongoing selection shapes the genomes of livestock breeds. Identifying such
signatures of selection allows for uncovering the genetic bases of affected phenotypes …

Bovine preimplantation embryos exhibit dramatic biological changes between before and
after the 8-16-cell stage. Here we report a simple lipofection method to transfect siRNA into …

The successful production of animals and embryonic stem cells using somatic cell nuclear
transfer (SCNT) has demonstrated the unmatched nuclear reprogramming capacity of the …

The curiosity to discover transcription factors to reprogram somatic cells to induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) resulted in the identification of a reprogramming factor, Gli …
