Embryonic or fetal loss in cattle is associated with problems that occur during oocyte
maturation, early embryonic development, conceptus elongation, maternal recognition of …

Background The histone code is an established epigenetic regulator of early embryonic
development in mammals. The lysine residue K9 of histone H3 (H3K9) is a prime target of …

Prolonged postpartum anoestrus in beef cows is due to failure of early dominant follicles to
ovulate. It is hypothesized that this failure to ovulate is due to inadequate LH pulse …

The present study evaluated the effect of Scriptaid, a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor
(HDACi), on the in vitro development of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) bovine …

The aims of this study were (i) to investigate changes in the global transcriptome of bovine
endometrial explants induced by exposure to blastocysts,(ii) to investigate if male and …

Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) is a key procedure for the in vitro production (IVP) of bovine
embryos; however, the efficiency of this step is limited by the intrinsic developmental …

Although the success rate of sheep cloning remains extremely low, using a histone
deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor to increase histone acetylation in SCNT embryos has …

The low efficiency observed in cloning by nuclear transfer is related to an aberrant gene
expression following errors in epigenetic reprogramming. Recent studies have focused on …

Substantial mortality of in vitro manipulated porcine embryos is observed during peri-
attachment development. Herein we describe our efforts to characterize the transcriptomes …

During initial development, both X chromosomes are active in females, and one of them
must be silenced at the appropriate time in order to dosage compensate their gene …
