Smith, Elizabeth Robertson, David J. Adams, Wolfgang J. Weninger, Timothy Mohun & Myriam Hemberger Large-scale phenotyping efforts have demonstrated that approximately 25–30% of mouse gene knockouts cause intrauterine lethality. Analysis of these mutants has largely focused on the embryo and not the placenta, despite the crucial role of this extraembryonic organ for developmental progression. Here we screened 103 embryonic
