ABERRANT H3K4ME3 MODIFICATION OF EPIBLAST GENES OF EXTRAEMBRYONIC TISSUE CAUSES PLACENTAL DEFECTS AND IMPLANTATION FAILURE IN MOUSE IVF EMBRYOS

Aberrant H3K4me3 modification of epiblast genes of extraembryonic tissue causes placental defects and implantation failure in mouse IVF embryos

Summary: Assisted reproductive technology has been widely applied in the treatment of human infertility.However, accumulating evidence indicates that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is associated with a low pregnancy rate, placental defects, and metabolic diseases in offspring.Here, we find that IVF manipulation notably disrupts extraembryonic tissue-
