Recent studies comparing bovine oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo culture in vivo and in vitro have demonstrated that the origin of the oocyte is the main factor affecting blastocyst yield, while the post-fertilization culture environment is critical in determining blastocyst quality, measured in terms of cryotolerance and relative transcript abundance, irrespective of the origin of the oocyte. Production of embryos in vitro, particularly when using an extended period of in-vitro culture, may predispose the embryo to phenomena such as the large offspring syndrome, which is likely to alter gene expression, particularly of imprinted genes. It is clear now that the post-fertilization culture environment has a profound effect on the relative abundance of gene transcripts within the embryo, and culture under suboptimal conditions for as little as 1 day can lead to perturbations in the pattern of expression.
