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 Erv3-1 as a putative lineage commitment factor or marker in embryonic stem cells of the human embryo.
