| dc.description.abstract | Universal genetic method for fetal sex-determination from maternal plasma in unipara
mammalian species
Fetal-sex determination of unipara mammals with long gestation can benefit the
management of economically important as well as captive wild populations, but feasibility
of currently available methods is limited to very few species. Based on the hypothesized
presence of cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal circulation of all unipara species, the
primary objective of this study was to develop a single, universal cffDNA-based assay for
fetal-sex determination. | en_US |
