Maternally provided factors are crucial for early mammalian development, bridging the gap before embryonic gene activation. Understanding these maternal-effect genes and protein complexes is key to unraveling early embryogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Genetics
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Early mammalian development relies on maternal factors due to a transcriptional hiatus between oocyte and embryonic genome activation.
  • Maternal-effect genes encode essential proteins and complexes accumulated during oogenesis.
  • These factors regulate crucial early embryonic events, including genome activation and lineage establishment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings on the role of maternal factors in mammalian preimplantation development.
  • To identify knowledge gaps in the mechanistic understanding of early embryogenesis regulation.
  • To highlight opportunities for future research in this field.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies in mouse models.
