Transposable Elements Profiling Reveals DUXA-associated MLT1D Endogenous Retroviral Elements Activation During Bovine Maternal to Zygotic Transition
Guangsheng Li, Cedric Feschotte, Jingyue Duan
The paper profiles transposable elements in bovine embryos to show that DUXA-associated MLT1D retroviral elements are activated during zygotic genome activation, and their dysregulation in SCNT embryos contributes to developmental defects.
