Abstract excerpt
This study examined the fate of donor mitochondrial DNA during preimplantation development after nuclear transfer (NT) in cattle. Frozen-thawed cumulus cells were used as donor cells in the nuclear transfer. Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy in the nuclear transfer embryos was analyzed by allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), direct DNA sequencing, and DNA chromatography. AS-PCR analysis for the detection of donor...
