Mitochondrial DNA as a readout of embryo cellularity

Mitochondrial DNA segregation in the developing embryo.

Mitochondrial (mt)DNA is strictly maternally inherited in mammals; new mutations thus segregate along maternal lineages without the benefit of homologous recombination with mtDNA of paternal origin. Despite the high mtDNA copy number (approximately 100000 or more) in mature oocytes, and despite the relatively small number of cell divisions during oogenesis, mtDNA sequence variants segregate rap...

A REPORT OF RAPID AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR MITOCHONDRIAL DNA

Based on the similarity of prokaryotic DNA to that of mitochondrial DNA, a rapid and efficient method for DNA purification from mitochondrial extracts obtained from different sources, was carried out based on the modification method described by Marmur (1983) which resulted in a high degree of purity (A260/A280=2). In addition we have applied the same technique for the first time to purify...

A Novel Large-Scale Deletion of The Mitochondrial DNA of Spermatozoa of Men in North Iran

Mitochondrial DNA content in embryo culture medium is significantly associated with human embryo fragmentation.

STUDY QUESTION Is the amount of cell-free DNA released by human embryos into culture medium correlated with embryo morphological features? SUMMARY ANSWER The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content of culture medium is significantly associated with the fragmentation rate on Days 2 and 3 of embryo development, whether the oocyte came from women ≤ 35 or >35 years old. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Cellular...

translating allusive devices:a survey of a portrait of the artist as a young man by james joyce

تلمیح یکی از عناصری است که تقریباً در همه ی متون ادبی یافت و باعث ایجاد شکاف های فرهنگی می شود. در این تحقیق به عنوان شکلی از بینامتنیت در ترجمه مورد توجه قرار می گیرد. تلاش شده است تا راهکارهای مترجمان برای ترجمه چهار نوع اسامی خاص و عبارات کلیدی تلمیحی (مذهبی، سیاسی، تاریخی و اسطوره ای) موجود در رمانِ چهره مرد هنرمند در جوانی به فارسی بررسی شود. این تحقیق مقایسه ای بر اساس راهکارهای ترجمه تلمیح...
