The Need to Develop a Single Multi-OMICS Tool for IVF Embryo Selection

Most often, patients wish to know how the selected embryos are better off than the rest. This is especially true when they are displayed on the screen looking similar to each other.

Some have argued that the experience of the embryologist is critical at this stage.
