A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from organelles to the nucleus in plants. Disruption of DSBR increases the risk of ...

The study, titled "Somatic nuclear ... insertions in their brain cells were more likely to die earlier than those with fewer insertions. "We used to think that the transfer of DNA from ...

This study reports an important mechanism through which the TGF-beta signaling pathway promotes contacts between oocytes and their surrounding somatic cells ... groups in the rate of transfer of ...

Health Canada's Food and Nutrition Directorate is proposing to publish a revised policy regarding the regulation of foods derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloned cattle and swine, and ...

New research indicates that a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), cloned using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), has successfully survived for over two years.The cloning of rhesus monkeys may ...

The main technique the scientists used to produce the cloned rhesus monkey, which they named "Retro", is called "somatic cell nuclear transfer". Don't let the jargon put you off. "Somatic cell ...

The cloning method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been used to clone animals before—most notably Dolly the sheep, which was cloned in Scotland in 1996 and announced the ...

In genetics and developmental biology, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory technique for creating an ovum with a donor nucleus. It can be used in embryonic stem cell research ...

In the current study, Wakayama’s team generate healthy cloned mice offspring from freeze dried somatic cell nuclei through an adapted nuclear transfer procedure. They used fibroblast cells from ...

Human activity, be it direct killing or destruction of habitat, is causing animals to go extinct at an alarming rate. Many have now got to a point where conservation and breeding efforts are the ...

Fertility variation mainly displays as semen variation in fertilization ability and cell variation in efficiency of nuclear transfer (cloning ... variation in somatic cell cloning efficiency ...
