Abstract:BackgroundDespite reported promising farrowing rates after non-surgical and surgical transfers of vitrified in vivo-derived porcine morulae and blastocysts (range: 70-75%), their pregnancy loss is yet higher (10-20%) than it is for fresh embryos (< 2.5%). The present study was designed to investigate whether vitrification would affect the transcriptome of porcine morulae and blastocysts, using microarrays and qRT-PCR validation. Material and methods and resultsMorulae and blastocysts were collected from wea… Show more
