“…However, haploid embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have recently been established from both parthenogenetic and androgenetic embryos of several species (Elling et al., 2011, Leeb and Wutz, 2011, Li et al., 2012, Sagi et al., 2016, Yang et al., 2012, Yang et al., 2013). These haploid ESCs have provided exciting possibilities in many aspects (Elling et al., 2011, Li et al., 2014, Wutz, 2014, Yang et al., 2012). However, the haploid state is not stable and haploid ESCs tend to diploidize spontaneously during continuous cell passage (Elling et al., 2011, Leeb et al., 2012, Li et al., 2012, Li et al., 2014, Yang et al., 2012).…”
