A mouse embryo has now been made to write its own family tree. A recording device called the DNA Typewriter, built in Jay Shendure’s laboratory at the University of Washington, kept a running log of ...

A mouse study links oxidative damage in IVF embryos to increased HP1α, which silences MERVL and causes developmental arrest ...

Scientists reconstructed a family tree of 1.28 million cells in a mouse embryo, revealing how cells develop into different ...

A molecular recorder traces 1.28 million cells in one mouse embryo, revealing developmental patterns while covering about 10% of its cells.

A mouse study found that adding carnosine during oocyte vitrification improved blastocyst formation rates and was associated ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a rat-mouse hybrid embryo from a single frozen rat chromosome transplanted into a mouse egg cell. The achievement is proof that genetic material can sometimes remain ...

Early embryonic development is tumultuous. It involves a rapid sequence of events, including cell division, differentiation, and lots of compartments moving around within each cell. Like an orchestra ...

A molecular tracking technology called DNA Typewriter can record the cellular lineage of a mouse embryo, from a single cell to over a million.
