## Introduction – context:

The preservation of a species is dependent on the availability of male and female genetic material. Cryopreservation of female gametes is not mastered in numerous species. In vitro embryo production (IVP = OPU/IVF/IVC) has the potential of promoting the conservation of female genetic : it can increase the number of embryos produced per female and can favor the genetic variability through the use of multiple males per session of embryo production.

However, IVP is impaired by the variable quality of the resulting embryos and the lack of accurate methods of embryo selection, resulting in 50-70% of pregnancy losses after transfer.

Our team is currently developing a model based on early morphokinetic events to predict the quality and improve the selection of IVP embryos with the aim of improving the success rate after transfer.

## The 3 objectives of the project are:

1) To evaluate in vitro and to confirm in vivo the reliability of the model to predict the embryo profiles (Tasks 1 and 2);

2) To compare the transcriptomes of the embryos of different morphokinetic profiles (Task 3);

3) To supply CRB Anim with screened embryos and the related morphokinetical information (Task 4).

## Current stage of the work:

Embryo production and characterisation for tasks 1 and 2.

Final results expected for : february 2019.
