BET proteins are essential for the specification and maintenance of the epiblast lineage in mouse preimplantation embryos

Abstract Background During mammalian preimplantation development, as the fertilized egg develops and differentiates, three cell lineages become specified: trophectoderm (TE), epiblast, and primitive endoderm (PrE). Through two steps of cell fate decisions, 16-cell blastomeres develop into TE and an...
