• early blastocysts are present in approximate Mendelian ratios at E3.5 (38% versus expected 25%, n=24); no homozygous embryos are recovered at E7.5
• however, excess resorption sites suggest that embryos elicit a decidual response in vivo

reproductive system
• in vitro, blastocysts hatch from the zona pellucida but form irregular outgrowths after 3 days in culture
