Source	No. of oocytes/reconstructed embryos (n)	Cleavage rate n (%)	Blastocyst rate n (%)	Total cell number	ICM cell number	ICM/TE ratio
IVF	1250	898 (70.23±3.34)^a	112 (12.13±1.62)^a	158.50±6.80^a	26.50±2.26^a	0.20±0.02^a
Parthenogenesis	622	545 (81.09±2.34)^b	153 (24.60±2.29)^b	169.83±11.99^a	27.66±4.05^a	0.19±0.02^a
HMC	296	238 (86.94±3.90)^b	142 (48.18±3.63)^c	231.33±15.72^b	43.50±1.98^b	0.24±0.03^a

Values with different superscripts within the same column differ significantly (p<0.05).

ICM, inner cell mass; TE, trophectoderm; IVF, in vitro fertilization; HMC, hand-made cloning.
