Expression of pluripotency master regulators during two key developmental transitions: EGA and early lineage specification in the bovine embryo.

Pluripotency genes are implicated in mouse embryonic genome activation (EGA) and pluripotent lineage specification. Moreover, their expression levels have been correlated with embryonic term development. In bovine, however, little information is available about dynamics of pluripotency genes during...
