Potential of preimplantation genomic selection using the blastomere separation technique in bovine in vitro fertilized embryos.

Abstract excerpt

Preimplantation genomic selection combined with an in vitro embryo production system is expected as a means of accelerating genetic improvement in cattle. While micromanipulation-based biopsy approaches are often used to collect embryonic cells for genetic testing, they require expensive equipment and sophisticated skills, hindering the adoption of this system. In the present study, to develop a simple method for...
