Abstract

Successful embryonic development is dependant on temporal and stage-specific expression of appropriate genes. However, information on specific gene expression during early cleavage before zygotic gene activation (ZGA) is lacking. In the present study, we compared gene expression between porcine parthenotes 2-cell and blastocyst embryos to identify the genes that are specifically or prominently expressed by employing annealing control primers (ACP)-based Gene Fishing RCR.
