Biotechnological bases of the development of cloned pig embryos by A. V. Lopukhov, G. N. Singina, N. A. Zinovieva

“…The method of manual cloning involves the removal of the oocyte nucleus with subsequent fusion with the donor cell without the use of micromanipulation techniques. The increased sensitivity of oocytes to the environmental conditions causes special requirements for the choice of the system for in vitro culture of cloned pig embryos. …”
