Abstract excerpt
Studies in the mouse have established that both parental genomes are essential for normal embryonic development. Parthenogenetic mouse embryos (which have two maternal genomes and no paternal genome), for example, are growth-retarded and die at early postimplantation stages. The distinct maternal...
