The success of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in overcoming infertility or improving livestock genetic traits is undeniable. However, the use of ART in livestock has also been associated with an increased likelihood of certain anomalies (e.g., large offspring syndrome, musculoskeletal anomalies) and neonatal mortality because of suboptimal culture conditions. Our partner, L’Alliance Boviteq (Semex) has […]

Cette étude vise à développer et valider un panel de petites molécules circulantes d’acide ribonucléique (ARN) non codantes appelées microARN (miRNAs) qui peuvent être utilisées pour prédire le risque de développer une scoliose sévère chez les enfants symptomatiques le plus tôt possible. Cela permettrait, une fois commercialisé, d’identifier les enfants à risque de développer une […]
