Haploidisation (from the Greek απλοποίηση = simplification) is the process of creating a haploid cell from a diploid cell. This is a laboratory procedure that forces a normal cell to spit out half of its chromosome content, leaving just one set. In mammals this renders this cell equal to sperm or egg.
This was one of the procedures used by Japanese researchers to produce Kaguya the fatherless mouse.
