Developmental rates of bovine nuclear transfer embryos derived from different fetal non transfected and transfected cells

Since the first successful somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) experiments were carried out, a number of domestic and agriculture species have been cloned using donor cells derived from different sources and origin. However, differences in nuclear transfer efficiency both in vitro and in vivo have...
