    Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations often cause severe inherited metabolic diseases, affecting the quality of life and even life safety of patients, and there is no cure yet


    In order to systematically evaluate the impact of spindle replacement technology on human embryonic development, and determine whether spindle replacement technology has clinical translational value and safety, the team of Tang Fuqiu from the Biomedical Frontier Innovation Center (BIOPIC) of Peking University and the Seventh PLA General Hospital A research paper entitled "Single-cell multiomics analyses of spindle-transferred human embryos suggest a mostly normal embryonic development" was published online in Plos Biology on August 16, 2022, in cooperation with the Shangwei team of the Medical Center

    We further inferred the sex of each embryo based on the expression levels of sex-linked genes and found that sex ratio was a confounding factor in the differentially expressed gene analysis (Fig.

    Taken together, this study provides the first comprehensive and systematic single-cell multi-omics analysis of spindle replacement technology, demonstrating that the technology is useful in transcriptome, DNA methylome, and genome (copy number variation) levels.
