Abstract
Genetic tests, such as whole genome analysis (WGA), have been employed to identify genetically superior embryos. The disclosed methods extend in vitro culture time of embryos while awaiting results of genetic tests being performed on a portion of the same embryos. The disclosed methods also help expand the number of cells in each embryo before implantation in the recipient.
