.... Several specific alterations in the protein synthesis pattern of DBA/2 androgenones were observed that reflect a defect in the regulatory mechanisms that normally modulate the synthesis of these proteins between the 8-cell and blastocyst stages. These results are consistent with a model in which...

... development. Imprinting of genes can be critical for their dosage affecting embryonic growth, cell proliferation and differentiation. The cumulative effects of all the imprinted genes are observed in androgenones (AG) and parthenogenones (PG), which reveal complementary phenotypes with respect to embryonic...
