Genes from mothers provided during fertilization need to be reprogrammed to match the state needed by the embryo while those from fathers are pre-programmed to the state according to a new study conducted by researchers at University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI). In the earliest stages, embryo cells have the potential to develop into any type of cell, a state called totipotency. Later, this potency becomes restricted through a process called differentiation. ...Saturday, 11 May 2013
Genes from Mothers Need to be Reprogrammed at Fertilization
Genes from mothers provided during fertilization need to be reprogrammed to match the state needed by the embryo while those from fathers are pre-programmed to the state according to a new study conducted by researchers at University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI).
