• blastocysts are present in expected Mendelian ratios at E3.5; 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
