Epigenetic Reprogramming: How Now, Cloned Cow?
DNA methylation patterns are dynamic in cleavage-stage embryos of a number of mammalian species. A failure to properly recapitulate preimplantation DNA methylation patterns in embryos derived by nuclear transfer may contribute to the low efficiency of nuclear transfer in producing live offspring.
متن کاملHow now mad cow?
Since the BM7's last editorial on the topic' another 40 000 cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy have been confirmed in cattle. New cases are being confirmed at the rate of 500 a week. Does it matter that between 1986 and 1989 we actually had the offal, which is now proscribed, going into the food chain?2 Several reasons are given for dismissing bovine spongiform encephalopathy as carrying...

industry, posing an increasing threat to the unique and fearless wildlife studied by Darwin. While the island officially only had 17,000 inhabitants in 2000, many more arrived unrecorded, and some saw the national park as a nuisance and resorted to arson to clear land for their own use. The Galápagos Islands became Unesco's very first World Heritage Site in 1978, attracting yet more visitors. I...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modification Agents Improve Gene-Specific Methylation Reprogramming in Porcine Cloned Embryos
Incomplete DNA methylation reprogramming in cloned embryos leads to poor cloning efficiency. Epigenetic modification agents can improve genomic methylation reprogramming and the development of cloned embryos, however, the effect of epigenetic modification agents on gene-specific methylation reprogramming remains poorly studied. Here, we investigated DNA methylation reprogramming of pluripotency...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modification Agents Improve Genomic Methylation Reprogramming in Porcine Cloned Embryos
Incomplete DNA methylation reprogramming in cloned embryos leads to low cloning efficiency. Our previous studies showed that the epigenetic modification agents 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) or trichostatin A (TSA) could enhance the developmental competence of porcine cloned embryos. Here, we investigated genomic methylation dynamics and specific gene expression levels during early embryonic...
