The paper shows that loss of EED in mouse oocytes initially restricts fetal growth but later leads to placental hyperplasia and offspring overgrowth.

The paper investigates DNA transfer via extracellular vesicles from maternal endometrium to embryos, showing altered embryo bioenergetics.

The paper identifies a transient period of PRC2 activity in mouse and human oocytes that represses developmental genes, with conservation in human germline but loss during early embryonic development.

The paper characterizes gene transcription initiation in spiny mouse embryos and compares it to human and common mouse embryos, finding a more human-like pattern in spiny mice.
