Deskripsi

The developmental potential of mosaic embryos of euploid and aneuploid cells is unknown. Here, the authors create a mouse model of chromosome mosaicism, showing that aneuploid cells in the fetus are eliminated by apoptosis and developmental potential is dependent on the presence of sufficient euploid cells.
