Abstract excerpt
Parthenogenetic embryos, which contained one genome from a neonate-derived non-growing oocyte and the other from a fully grown oocyte, developed to day 13.5 of gestation in mice, 3 days longer than previously recorded for parthenogenetic development. To investigate the hypothesis that disruption of primary imprinting during oocyte growth leads to the modified expression of imprinted genes and this parthenogenetic...
