Telomere length analysis in goat clones and their offspring
Abstract
Incomplete epigenetic reprogramming of the donor genome is believed to be the cause behind the high rate of developmental mortality and post-natal anomalies observed in animal clones. It appears that overt phenotypic abnormalities are not transmitted to their progeny suggesting that epigenetic errors are corrected in the germline of clones. Here, we show variation in telomere lengths among Nigerian dwarf goat clones derived from different …
