Animal biotechnology has made new biological experiments possible and new discoveries are being made on an almost daily basis. Among these discoveries is a method for directly injecting a spermatozoa or somatic nucleus into an oocyte that has brought a revolution in the world of micromanipulators. Experiments that were unfeasible until now have become possible, and normal offspring can be generated from infertile cells, such as using dead sperm or a dead frozen body. In this review, I will introduce the progress of animal reproductive biotechnology, including our current research.
