GENDER-SPECIFIC SEPARATION OF SPERM CELLS AND EMBRYOS

摘要

Disclosed are sperm cells or embryos comprising a labeled oligonucleotide bound to a gender- specific repeat sequence. Methods for separating sperm cells or embryos containing a labeled oligonucleotide from sperm cells not containing the labeled oligonucleotide produce gender-enriched sperm cell fractions. The separated fractions are useful in producing offspring of a predetermined sex.
