Single-Step Genomic Prediction of Superovulatory Response Traits in Japanese Black Donor Cows

Biology, 2023
We assessed the performance of single-step genomic prediction of breeding values for superovulatory response traits in Japanese Black donor cows. A total of 25,332 records of the total number of embryos and oocytes (TNE) and the number of good embryos ...

Comparing Methods to Select Candidates for Re-Genotyping to Impute Higher-Density Genotype Data in a Japanese Black Cattle Population: A Case Study

Animals, 2023
As optimization methods to identify the best animals for dense genotyping to construct a reference population for genotype imputation, the MCA and MCG methods, which use the pedigree-based additive genetic relationship matrix (A matrix) and the genomic ...

Oct4 regulates DNA methyltransferase 1 transcription by direct binding of the regulatory element

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2018
Background The transcription factor Oct4 plays a pivotal role in the pre-implantation development of the mouse embryo. DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1) maintains the changes in DNA methylation during mammalian early embryonic development.

Filtered reproductive long non-coding RNAs by genome-wide analyses of goat ovary at different estrus periods

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The goat is an important farm animal. Reproduction is an important process of goat farming. The ovary is the most important reproductive organ for goats.

A single cell characterisation of human embryogenesis identifies pluripotency transitions and putative anterior hypoblast centre

Nature Communications, 2021
Single cell analysis of early human embryos identifies key changes in pluripotency, the requirement of FGF signalling for embryo survival, and defines a putative anterior-like region of hypoblast cells, providing insights into how early human development

Erythroid development in the mammalian embryo [PDF]

Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases, 2013
Erythropoiesis is the process by which progenitors for red blood cells are produced and terminally differentiate. In all vertebrates, two morphologically distinct erythroid lineages (primitive, embryonic, and definitive, fetal/adult) form successively within the yolk sac, fetal liver, and marrow and are essential for normal development. Red blood cells

Transcriptional defects and reprogramming barriers in somatic cell nuclear reprogramming as revealed by single-embryo RNA sequencing

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Nuclear reprogramming reinstates totipotency or pluripotency in somatic cells by changing their gene transcription profile. This technology is widely used in medicine, animal husbandry and other industries.

Vitamin A and the developing embryo [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2001
It was just before the First World War when vitamin A was chemically identified as “fat soluble A” and in the 1920s studies were conducted on laboratory rats to see what happened when this component was left out of the diet.1 A now familiar series of hypovitaminosis A changes occurred—widespread keratinisation of epithelia, decreased immune function ...

Developing senescence to remodel the embryo [PDF]

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2014
Cellular senescence is an irreversible form of cell cycle arrest that has been linked to several pathological conditions. In particular, senescence can function as a tumor suppressor mechanism, but is also thought to contribute to organismal aging.
