Expression of a green fluorescent protein variant in mouse oocytes by injection of RNA with an added long poly(A) tail.

abstract：:No phenotypic effect is observed in most inversion heterozygotes. However, reproductive risks may occur in the form of infertility, spontaneous abortions or chromosomally unbalanced children as a consequence of meiotic recombination between inverted and non-inverted chromosomes. An odd number of crossovers within the ...
