Studies\, most using mice and humans\, have shown that DNA DSBs is an important component affecting early embryo deve lopment and somatic cell reprogramming during the production of iPS cells. However\, the occurrence and effects of DNA DSBs\, and the mechanism invo lved in DNA DSBs repair have not been systematically investigated during e arly embryo development and cell reprogramming in embryos produced by soma tic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Therefore\, in the first manuscript of t his thesis\, we characterized the occurrence of DNA DSBs during early deve lopment of IVF and SCNT porcine embryos. ... In the second manuscript of t his thesis\, we investigated the effect of HDACi treatment on DNA DSBs rep air and development of SCNT embryos.  ... In the third manuscript\, we com pared the occurrence of DSBs between early- and late-cleaving embryos. Our results showed that the presence of DNA DSBs affects the cleavage kinetic s and embryo developmental capacity to the blastocyst stage. Finally\, in the fourth manuscript of this thesis\, we assessed the importance of the H R and the NHEJ pathways for DNA DSBs repair during early embryo developmen t.\n\nEveryone in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral def ense.
