Fig. 6. Decision tree used to obtain tissue from live animals. Blue indicates steps in the decision tree. Green indicates procedures that will lead to preservation of tissues for genetic study. Purple indicates procedures that lead to achieving multiple goals, including obtaining gametes for current or future ARTs. NOTE: Breeding and IVF can result in offspring that can be used for genetic purposes, thereby achieving multiple goals.
