Funded Activity Summary

One in four pregnancies in Australia will end in miscarriage. Infertility affects about 15% of Australian couples and is highly correlated with increasing maternal age. In this study, we will use cutting edge single-cell genomic approaches to investigate the activity of mobile DNA elements or “jumping genes” as a previously unexplored cause of reproductive failure, including spontaneous miscarriage and age-related female infertility.
