Assisted reproductive techniques have significantly contributed to animal breeding
programs. Similarly, genomics has provided important information and tools to improve the
accuracy of selection. However, the greatest benefits of those tools can only be expected
when they are combined, allowing animals to be selected accurately early in life. Therefore,
obtaining DNA samples from embryos without compromising their viability is essential for the
consolidation of preimplantation genomic selection. We aimed to evaluate the effect on the …
