Abstract excerpt
Cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer requires silencing of the donor cell gene expression program and the initiation of the embryonic gene expression program (nuclear reprogramming). Failure to silence the donor cell program could lead to altered embryonic phenotypes. Cloned mouse embryos produced using myoblast nuclei fail to thrive in standard embryo culture media but flourish in somatic cell culture media...
