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 a retrotransposon-like gene, RTL5, with putative functions in lineage commitment in embryonic stem cells of the human embryo.
