The finding that normal fertilization can result in embryos containing cells with different parental sets of chromosomes is a new mechanism for chimerism, which was previously thought to occur only as the result of fertilization errors, for example, the fusion of multiple sperm or eggs to form an embryo.

Defects in placenta development are a major cause of delayed embryo / fetal development because the developing embryos do not get enough nutrients to support normal growth.

Even embryos that contained the intended HIV - blocking mutation in one copy of CCR5 either had normal DNA or an unintended mutation in other copies of the gene.

Researchers think this process may not completely reprogram the adult donor's DNA to resemble that of a fresh embryo; if that's true, cloned animals might age faster than normal animals, in essence starting out at the age of the donor.

By comparing mouse and cow embryos made either by normal fertilization, in vitro fertilization, or cloning, they discovered that developing embryos can fix short telomeres.
