Abstract

Sexing from bovine embryos which were fertilized in vitro implicate a possibility of production of the sex controlled cattle. This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of determining of embryo sex by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. FISH was achieved in in vitro fertilized bovine embryos using a bovine Y-specific DNA probe which constructed from the btDYZ-1 sequences. (omitted)
