RESEARCH KEY FINDINGS & SUMMARY

                                            Dr Spencer showed that:

•  EnJSRVs are necessary for mammalian placental development by knocking out the gene that codes for enJSRVs.
  
• The enJSRVs Retro virus has co-existed as part of the highly conserved genetic sequence within placental mammals since the days of the early mammal
  
• Mammalian knowledge gained through sheep research could be utilised to better understand human reproductary systems, minimise the risk of miscarriage and further human reproductive science.
