Unveiling the bovine embryo transcriptome during the maternal-to-embryonic transition
5 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Bovine early embryos are transcriptionally inactive and subsist through the initial developmental stages by the consumption of the maternal supplies provided by the oocyte until its own genome activation. In bovine, the activation of transcription occurs during the 8- to 16-cell stages and is associated with a phase called the maternal-to-embryonic transition (MET) where maternal mRNA are replaced by embryonic...
