Diploid versus haploid cells. Most of the cells in our body are diploid, which means they carry two sets of chromosomes ... It will aid our understanding of human development - for example, ...

Scientists have succeeded in creating only haploid embryonic stem cells – containing a single set of chromosomes – in non-human mammals such as mice, rats and monkeys.

For example, recent haploid genetic screens in near-haploid human cells 6 have led to the identification of host factors used by pathogens 7. Haploid ES cells combine the advantages of haploidy ...

A Stem cell research milestone was reached last year, when Ido Sagi, working as a PhD student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Azrieli Center for Stem Cells and Genetic Research, led ...

The new cells could be used to do more rapid analysis of gene networks involved in mammalian development. “This opens the opportunity to do genetics in mammalian systems on a more facile basis than ...
