ViaGen Preserving and Multiplying Superior Genetics

The cryopreservation of DNA for possible later use in cloning; this can be accomplished using a small biopsy sample provided by the client or the client’s veterinarian.

A gene is the basic unit of heredity. It’s a short piece of DNA—specifically, a sequence of nucleotides—that tells the body how to build a particular protein. The combination of all genes makes up the blueprint for an animal’s body and its functions.

Relating to, being, or involving changes in gene function that do not involve changes in DNA sequence. Epigenesis is the development of an animal from an egg through a series of processes in which unorganized cell masses differentiate into organs and organ systems.

Implantation of an embryo into the oviduct or uterus of a recipient female animal.

A supporting material (such as a glass or plastic slide) onto which numerous fragments of DNA are attached in a regular pattern for use in genetic analysis.

The animal whose DNA is used to produce a clone. Also called Genetic Donor.

The process or technique of making body tissue or embryos grow in a culture medium outside the organism.

Preservation by subjection to extremely low temperatures.
