Abstract excerpt
In different mammalian species, in vitro culture and manipulation can lead to aberrant fetal and peri-natal development. It has been postulated that these diverse abnormalities are caused by epigenetic alterations and that these could affect genes that are regulated by genomic imprinting. To explore this hypothesis relative to somatic cell nuclear transfer in sheep, we investigated whether the ovine H19-IGF2 and...
