A hexa-species transcriptome atlas of mammalian embryogenesis delineates metabolic regulation across three different implantation modes
Abstract
Mammalian embryogenesis relies on glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, but understanding of the dynamics of metabolic regulation in the postimplantation embryo in vivo remains elusive. Here the authors compile single-cell embryo profiling data in six mammalian species and reveal a conserved metabolic programme despite different implantation modes.
