Accurate and rapid sex determination of preimplantation embryos has great potential both in animal breeding and in human pathology. In the past, sex determination has been accomplished by cytogenetic or immunologic means and by polymerase chain reaction amplification of Y-chromosome-specific repetitive sequences. More recently, amplification of the Y-specific single-copy ZFY gene has been used in humans for sex determination of preimplantation embryos. The experiments reported here indicate that another Y-chromosome-specific single-copy gene, the sex-determining region gene (sry) can be successfully amplified from single mouse blastomeres. Blastocysts positive for sry amplification were reimplanted to foster mothers, and six of six newborns were male. We conclude that sry gene amplification can represent a good marker for embryo sex determination.

D001755 Blastocyst A post-MORULA preimplantation mammalian embryo that develops from a 32-cell stage into a fluid-filled hollow ball of over a hundred cells. A blastocyst has two distinctive tissues. The outer layer of trophoblasts gives rise to extra-embryonic tissues. The inner cell mass gives rise to the embryonic disc and eventual embryo proper. Embryo, Preimplantation,Blastocysts,Embryos, Preimplantation,Preimplantation Embryo,Preimplantation Embryos
D001757 Blastomeres Undifferentiated cells resulting from cleavage of a fertilized egg (ZYGOTE). Inside the intact ZONA PELLUCIDA, each cleavage yields two blastomeres of about half size of the parent cell. Up to the 8-cell stage, all of the blastomeres are totipotent. The 16-cell MORULA contains outer cells and inner cells. Blastocytes,Blastocyte,Blastomere
D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.

D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.
