University of Sydney Collaboration
XY Inc. has teamed with the University of Sydney's Centre for Advanced
Technologies in Animal Genetics and Reproduction - or ReproGen -- on sheep
and equine research. This state-of-the-art facility is the only one in
Australia with sperm-sorting capabilities for livestock. Professors Chis
Maxwell and Gareth Evans and their team are internationally recognized
animal-reproduction physiologists and the world's leading sperm-sorting team
for sheep, having produced in 2001 the world's first lambs using sexed ram
sperm that had been frozen, then thawed.
In addition, XY researchers, supported by Dr. Lee Morris, internationally
acclaimed equine researcher, announced in Feb. 2003 the birth in Australia
of "Ballerina" -- the first foal in the world produced using sexed sperm
combined with embryo transfer.
