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

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) patients are often made to rely on the judgement of embryologist to select embryo to be returned to the uterus in each treatment cycle. 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. To an untrained eye, they may pass for the same quality but an embryologist use morphological criteria to distinguish the ones that have better quality. Some have argued that the experience of the embryologist is critical at this stage.
