Abstract excerpt
Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) activates the quiescent genome to enable the maternal-to-zygotic transition1,2. However, the identity of transcription factors that underlie mammalian ZGA in vivo remains elusive. Here we show that OBOX, a PRD-like homeobox domain transcription factor family (OBOX1-OBOX8)3-5, are key regulators of mouse ZGA. Mice deficient for maternally transcribed Obox1/2/5/7 and zygotically...
