The small differences in transcriptional patterns displayed by mouse and rabbit embryos may be related to morphological ifferences in the embryos. The rabbit ovum, for example, is about twice the diameter of the mouse ovum, cleaves more rapidly, reaches a morula stage of about 100-130 cells before cavitation begins and retains its zona pellucida throughout the preimplantation period. It is possible that further slight variations in transcriptional patterns will be uncovered as other orders of mammals are studied.

FIGURE 29.1 Development of the early mouse embryo. In the morula, the inner (blue) cells will form ICM and the outer (pink) cells will form trophoblast. In the early blastocyst, a cavity (the blastocoele, B) forms between the ICM and the trophoblast the embryo is still enclosed in the zona pellucida (ZP). By the late blastocyst stage, the ICM cells in contact with the blastocoele differentiate into the PE, which later forms visceral endoderm on the epiblast side and parietal endoderm on the trophoblast side. At implantation the proamn iotic cavity begins to form within the ICM. Cells of the ICM differentiate into an epithelial layer, the epiblast (E). (Adapted from O Shea, K. S. 2004.
