Article Title: Sex-specific gene expression in preimplantation mouse embryos
Abstract: The 3.5-day-old blastocyst-stage mouse embryo consists of two tissues and contains approximately 60 cells. This tiny structure has now been observed to express nearly 600 genes in a sex-specific fashion, including at least one gene (Rhox/Pem) expressed only in females from their paternal X chromosome. © 2006 BioMed Central Ltd.
