Abstract

We measured total transcription in the inner cell mass (ICM) and the trophectoderm (TE) of the human embryo to understand the mechanisms underlying TE commitment. We describe here discovery of Msx1 and Msx2 as homeobox lineage commitment factors in embryonic stem cells of the human embryo.
