METHODS FOR EMBRYO RECIPIENT MANAGEMENT

摘要

Provided herein are methods of managing embryo transfer programs, for instan ce bovine embryo transfer programs. Examples of such methods are referred to as "bred recipient transfer" programs, in which embryos (e.g.,. clonal embryos) are transferred to recipients that have been impregnated. Also provided are methods of enhancing survival of clonal embryos, in which the clonal embryos are transferred to bred recipients, and methods of increasing delivery succe ss rates for cloned animals. Methods of serial transfer of embryos to a recipient, when that recipient returns to heat after an unsuccessful transfe r, are provided. Finally, specific methods are provided for cloning male mammal s, using diploid differentiated cells taken from a semen sample.
