Abstract excerpt
Embryo survival is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Previous research in our laboratory has identified one gene associated with embryonic survival, the Ped gene, a gene that is linked to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the mouse. The Ped gene has been shown to influence the rate of preimplantation embryonic cleavage division, as well as litter size, birth weight, and weaning...
