Abstract

Understanding the functional regulatory landscape of maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) during early human embryo development remains a challenge. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Guo et al. assessed single-cell allele-specific transcriptomics from human preimplantation embryos and identified DPRX and ARGFX genes as pivotal factors whose hampered activation underlies cleavage-stage embryonic arrest.
