BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that preimplantation embryo viability during culture and following embryo transfer is associated with a 'quiet' metabolism. Viable embryos may be better equipped to contend with damage to the genome, transcriptome and proteome, or they may possess less damage than non-viable embryos.
