This success was largely due to … Jan 1, 2014 · After nuclear transfer, reconstructed embryos are artificially activated to initiate development and cultured in vitro until the optimal stage for embryo transfer. Nuclear transfer technology has been useful for genetic Aug 23, 2012 · Somatic cell nuclear transfer based transgenic animal production is superior over the previously employed microinjection technology with regard to efficiency and precision of gene transfer (see Niemann et al. Defective H3K27me3 imprinting in somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos. Somatic cells are cells that have gone through the differentiation process and are not germ cells. The main biological goal of SCNT is to reverse the differentiated state of a somatic cell, for the purpose of creating blastocysts from which embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be derived for therapeutic cloning, or for the purpose of reproductive Nov 4, 2014 · Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technology applied in cloning, stem cell research and regenerative medicine. Dr. and transfer was routine in mice, rabbits, sheep, cattle and pigs. Once inside the egg, the somatic nucleus is reprogrammed by egg cytoplasmic factors to become a zygote (fertilized egg) nucleus. Nuclear transfer is a delicate process that is a major hurdle in the development of cloning technology.
