New Zealand: DAZL-null male sheep lack germ cells whilst maintaining normal somatic cells for accelerated genetic improvements in livestock
Success of gRNA-Cas9 mediated homology-directed repair of DAZL loss-of-function mutation in male ovine fetal fibroblasts was confirmed via gene expression analysis performed on Mic qPCR Cycler.
Australia & UK: DDX5 promotes maintenance and function of spematogonia
Gene expression analysis on Mic qPCR Cycler and immunochemistry methods shows that DDX5 regulates appropriate splicing of key genes necessary for spermatogenesis and regulates expression of cell cycle genes in undifferentiated spermatogonia post-transcriptionally.
