Embryo hybridization

In mammals the hybridization of the total embryonic RNA with repeated sequences of DNA rapidly increased in the preimplantation period of development and remained at a constant level during the following stages of embryogeneses (Fig. 8). At the same time, approximately 1% of unique DNA sequences were transcribed before implantation. This percentage increased to 10% at birth (Brown and Church, 1972 Church and Brown, 1972 Church and Schultz, 1974). More than 2% from newly formed RNA in the preimplantation mouse embryo are the mRNA (Warner and Hearn, 1977). Rabbit blastocyst RNA was able to hybridize with 1.8% of the unique sequences of the genome. This corresponds to 60,000 unique sequences with 1,000 nucleotides in each. RNA, extracted from implanted 12-day-old embryos, hybridized with 2.5% of the unique DNA sequences. Approximately... 

Parthenogenetic one-cell embryos were fused very soon after an activating treatment with parthenogenetic one-cell embryos entering first mitosis. We expected that hybrids obtained in such experiments would either arrest in M-... 

In many areas, bioethics will continue to pose vexing questions that communities and governments must face. In September 2007, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) of the United Kingdom approved the research of hybrid embryos, which involves the insertion of human DNA...

R. Although expressions for this parameter exist, they are derived by a hybrid of molecular mechanical and thermodynamic arguments which are not at present known to be consistent as droplet size decreases (8). An analysis of the size limitation of the validity of these arguments has, to our knowledge, never been attempted. Here we evaluate these expressions and others which are thought to be only asymptotically correct. Ve conclude, from the consistency of these apparently independent approaches, that the surface of tension, and, therefore, the surface tension, can be defined with sufficient certainty in the size regime of the critical embryo of classical nucleation theory.

Replace PBT with Hybridization Mix and incubate at room temperature until the embryos settle on the bottom. 

Change Hybridization Mix and incubate the embryos for 1 h at 70°C in the hybridization oven with rocking. 

Prepare Hybridization Mix containing 500 ng/ml of DIG-labeled RNA probe in a plastic screw-cap tube, and transfer the embryos. 

Prepare WASHl solution in the 12-well plate, and transfer the embryos with mesh-buckets. Wash 3 times with prewarmed WASHl solution at 70°C in the hybridization oven for 30 min each see Note 15). Probes can be recovered in the screw-cap tubes and stored at -20°C for reuse up to at least 3 times.
