Genetic control of survival of frozen mouse embryos.

Abstract excerpt

Lines of mice selected for increased litter size (L+), increased body weight (W+), or randomly (K) were used to study genetic variation in embryo cryosurvival in response to standard cryopreservation protocols. A total of 60528-cell embryos from 400 females were used in two studies. In Study 1, e...
