Maternal loss of mouse Nlrp2 alters the transcriptome and DNA methylome in GV oocytes and impairs zygotic genome activation in embryos

Abstract Background NLRP2 is a subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) protein of mammalian oocytes and preimplantation embryos. SCMC proteins are encoded by maternal effect genes and play a pivotal role in the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), early embryogenesis, and epigenetic (re)programming. Ma...
