Proposed Model for Human Embryo Development

Human embryos begin life with a set of oocyte RNAs inherited from the mother. After fertilization, a subset of maternal RNAs specific to the egg (ESSP1) must be degraded as the transition from oocyte to embryo begins embryonic genome activation (EGA).

As development continues, other RNAs are partitioned equally to each blastomere (ESSP4). At EGA, ESSP2 genes are transcribed in a cell-autonomous manner.

During the cleavage divisions, embryonic blastomeres may arrest or progress independently.

'Feature extraction' indicates the three imaging parameters for predicting successful development to the blastocyst stage: cytokinesis, the time between 1st and 2nd mitoses, and the time between 2nd and 3rd mitoses.

Legend

  • EGA - embryonic genome activation
  • ESSP - embryonic stage–specific pattern, four unique embryonic stage–specific patterns (1-4)
  • RNA - ribonucleic acid
