Pilot study to optimize low-input RNA-seq on cumulus cells from individually tracked eggs discarded during IVF, testing whether a pre-locked ageing gene score predicts blastocyst formation in about 20 women. Fits the RFP's omics-for-IVF track and is methodologically disciplined, but the small sample and withheld proprietary signature limit definitive conclusions and full reproducibility.
