AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Production of cloned embryos by nuclear transfer from adult somatic cells is a novel and promising technique in animal biotechnology. In spite of numerous reported viable offspring in various species, the efficiency of the technique remains very low. Embryonic and fetal mortality occurs all along pregnancy and during the peri-natal life, even months after birth. Both embryonic and placental dysfunctions might be involved. However the precise causes of such developmental failures are still unknown. In the present review, we report data from different studies which described the main defaults which have been observed after embryonic cloning in various species. The putative molecular and cellular causes of these developmental failures are discussed.

In vivo lineage tracing holds great potential to reveal fundamental principles of tissue development and homeostasis. However, current lineage tracing in humans relies on extremely rare somatic mutations, which has limited temporal resolution and lineage accuracy. Here, we developed a generic lineage-tracing tool based on frequent epimutations on DNA methylation, enabled by our computational method MethylTree.

The JAZ protein family, serving as a key negative regulator in the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, interacts with transcription factors to play an essential role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, minimal research has focused on the role of JAZ transcription factors in regulating the growth, development, and stress responses of maize. In this study, we cloned the JAZ gene ZmJAZ13 from maize (Zea mays L.

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelle present in eukaryotic cells, containing their own genome and transcriptional machinery. However, their functions are intricately linked to proteins encoded by the nuclear genome. Mitochondrial transcription termination factors (mTERFs) are nucleic acid-binding proteins involved in RNA splicing and transcription termination within plant mitochondria and chloroplasts.

The Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) is an NIH-funded national stock center and germplasm repository that maintains and distributes genetically modified and wild-type zebrafish (Danio rerio) lines to the biomedical research community. The ZIRC and its community would benefit from incorporating somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning which would allow the preservation of diploid genomes. The goal of this study was to advance a zebrafish SCNT cloning protocol into a reproducible community-level pathway by use of process mapping and simulation modeling approaches to address training requirements, process constraints, and quality management gaps.

Background: Histone deacetylase 4 () is a member of the class II histone deacetylase family, whose members play a crucial role in various biological processes. An in-depth investigation of the transcriptional characteristics of chicken can provide fundamental insights into its function.
Methods: We examined expression in chicken embryonic stem cells (ESC) and spermatogonial stem cells (SSC) and cloned a 444 bp fragment from upstream of the chicken transcription start site.
