Prospective strategies to reprogram porcine skin-derived stem cells into germ-line cells. Porcine SKPs can generate oocyte-like cells in vitro (middle panel). Alternatively, they may be used as donor cells for nuclear transfer to produce cloned animals which can generate normal gametes in vivo (lower panel). Finally they might be reprogrammed into iPS cells by defined factors and then derive gametes by in vitro induction or in vivo chimera production and tetraploid complementation (upper panel).
