Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to compositions and methods for enhancing the developmental potential of oocytes or preimplantation embryos by modulating mitochondrial-associated proteins and/or genomic integrity modifier proteins in the oocytes or preimplantation embryos. In one aspect of the invention, the levels of one or more mitochondrial-associated proteins and/or genomic integrity modifier proteins are increased, in particular by introducing the mitochondrial-associated proteins and/or genomic integrity modifier proteins into the oocytes or preimplantation embryos. Oocytes may be fertilized to obtain a zygote with increased levels of one or more mitochondrial-associated proteins and/or genomic integrity modifier proteins. The methods and compositions may be used to improve in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer methods, and nuclear transfer techniques.
