Abstract excerpt
Maternal mRNA clearance is an essential process that occurs during maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). However, the dynamics, functional importance, and pathological relevance of maternal mRNA decay in human preimplantation embryos have not yet been analyzed. Here we report the zygotic genome activation (ZGA)-dependent and -independent maternal mRNA clearance processes during human MZT and demonstrate that...
