mortality/aging

• although normal blastocysts are present in expected Mendelian ratios at E3.5, very few homozygous embryos can be recovered at E7.5 (7% vs expected 25%, n=43)
• in vitro, blastocysts hatch from the zona pellucida and form fairly normal outgrowth colonies after 3 days in culture

|
• no homozygous embryos are identified at E9.5
