… The current process in pigs is not well described and has many limitations, as
comprehensively reviewed in Mandawala et al. [126]. Additionally, there are also implications of …

In vitro fertilisation is an effective method of assisted reproductive technology in both humans
and certain non-human animal species. In most species, specifically, in humans and …

The ultimate aim of a genome assembly is to create a contiguous length of sequence from
the p- to q- terminus of each chromosome. Most assemblies are however highly fragmented, …

Spermatogenesis is central to successful sexual reproduction, producing large numbers of
haploid motile male gametes. Throughout this process, a series of equational and reductional …

Cryopreservation, the freezing and later warming of biological samples with minimal loss of
viability, is important in many scientific disciplines. For some applications, particularly those …

Artificial insemination is routinely used in commercial pig breeding, for which the use of high
quality semen samples is imperative. Currently, semen quality is determined manually by …

Several nanoformulated anti-cancer substances are currently commercialized or under
development. Pre-clinical and clinical results have revealed better properties, that is, larger …

Most recent initiatives to sequence and assemble new species’ genomes de novo fail to
achieve the ultimate endpoint to produce contigs, each representing one whole chromosome. …

In this study, biologically synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles, called magnetosomes, are
made fully biocompatible by removing potentially toxic organic bacterial residues such as …
