Maternal-to-embryonic transition (MET) is the period in early embryonic development when
maternal RNAs and proteins stored in the oocyte are gradually degraded and transcription …

During maternal-to-embryonic transition control of embryonic development gradually
switches from maternal RNAs and proteins stored in the oocyte to gene products generated …

Bovine early embryos are transcriptionally inactive and subsist through the initial
developmental stages by the consumption of the maternal supplies provided by the oocyte …

Global activation of the embryonic genome is the most critical event in early mammalian
development. After fertilization, a rich supply of maternal proteins and RNAs support …

Embryonic development is initially controlled by maternal RNAs and proteins stored in the
oocyte, until gene products gradually generated by the embryo itself take over. Major …

Bovine embryos can be generated by in vitro fertilization or somatic nuclear transfer;
however, these differ from their in vivo counterparts in many aspects and exhibit a higher …

Understanding gene expression patterns in response to altered environmental conditions at
different time points of the preimplantation period would improve our knowledge on …

In vitro production (IVP) has been shown to affect embryonic gene expression and often
result in large offspring syndrome (LOS) in cattle and sheep. To dissect the effects of in vitro …

The identification of embryo‐specific genes would provide insights into early embryonic
development. However, the current methods employed to identify the genes that are …

Background During mammalian pre-implantation embryonic development dramatic and
orchestrated changes occur in gene transcription. The identification of the complete changes …
