Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the developmental competency between male- and female-somatic cell derived nuclear-transferred porcine embryos, and the productive and survival efficiency of cloned male and female piglets. The potential of eggs receiving somatic cells to develop into blastocysts was not different among donor cells of different origins. (omitted)
