The concept of induced tetraploidy and ESC aggregation successfully created a transgenic model whose ET and EET are of separate genetic origins. The proof of concept and validation of protocol on CD1 wild type mice, allows the reapplication of the procedure for the study of the T mutation - more specifically on the morphology of Extra Embryonic Tissues in the Brachyury mouse model."; "Worcester Polytechnic Institute"; "2011-04-28"; "2011"; "2020-01-16T19:01:08.681842819-05:00"^^; "E-project-042811-133908"; ; "Major Qualifying Project"; "Biology & Biotechnology"; ; ; "http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"; ; ; "This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement.
