Comparative expression profile of developmental related genes in haploid and diploid parthenogenetic embryos in caprine.

The article focuses on the comparison of the expression of embryonic developmental related genes in different stages of haploid and diploid parthenogenetic embryos in goat. The authors' study involved aspiration of good quality oocytes from the ovary that was then matured in a maturation medium without or with cytochalasin B. Based on the study's result, they conclude that there was undetectable level of embryonic developmental related genes in haploid parthenogenetic embryos.
