Analyzing Cell-free Genomic DNA in Spent Culture Media: Noninvasive Insight into the Blastocysts.

A commonly accepted standard protocol for noninvasive techniques for the genetic evaluation of an embryo remains elusive due to inconclusiveness regarding the volume of spent media to be acquired and the possibility of acquiring the same for subsequent analysis. Single embryo culture is imperative for standardizing noninvasive preimplantation testing using cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) released by individual developing embryos. This study aims to compare the development dynamics of single-drop embryonic culture against with group embryonic culture to establish a standardized protocol for noninvasive Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) in bovine.
