Abstract

Nuclear transplantation in amphibia started in 1952. By this is meant, sexually mature cloned frogs can be obtained from the nuclei of embryo cells, differentiating cells, and larval-differentiated cells. Transplanted nuclei are reprogrammed to entirely new patterns of gene expression. In this chapter, the methods used to transplant living nuclei into enucleated eggs of Xenopus are described. A method also is described for transplanting multiple somatic cell nuclei into nonenucleated oocytes, a procedure that achieves reprogramming of gene expression in the absence of cell division.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 October 2012.
All research outputs
#18,317,537
of 22,681,577 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,829
of 13,039 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,742
of 399,985 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#840
of 1,469 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,681,577 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,039 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,985 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,469 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
