Sperm-borne mRNAs: potential roles in zygote genome activation and epigenetic inheritance by Betina González, Candela Rocío González

“…The obtained gene list was further filtered using two criteria: (i) mRNAs that are statistically higher in the one-cell embryo compared to the MII oocyte transcriptome, indicative of paternal mRNA contribution after fertilization; and (ii) mRNAs that are found bound to ribosomes in the one-cell embryo, indicative of positive translation in the zygote translatome. Our analysis identified 94 genes that form networks functionally involved in epigenetic chromatin organization, gene expression, RNA processing and translation during zygote genome activation. …”
