Although the structure and function of the alphoid-tetO Human Artificial Chromosome (tetO-HAC) has been previously described in cell culture models and somatically in the mouse, in vivo persistence and stability throughout meiosis and across generations were not evaluated. Here we report germline transmission of a circular tetO-HAC across three mouse generations without observable health or reproductive deficiencies. Furthermore, we show that the tetO-HAC is maintained without selection as an episome and can be efficiently transmitted by both ova and sperm.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
