Effects of RNAi-mediated knockdown of <i>Xist</i> on the developmental efficiency of cloned male porcine embryos
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Xist is an X-linked gene responsible for cis induction of X chromosome inactivation. Studies have indicated that Xist is abnormally activated in the active X chromosome in cloned mouse embryos due to loss of the maternal Xist-repressing imprint following enucleation during somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Inhibition of Xist expression by injecting small interfering RNA (siRNA) has been shown to enhance the...
