Extended Data Fig. 5. Detailed schematic representation of early embryonic development.

Extended Data Fig. 5

Trophoblast and embryoblast lineages develop at day 6, hypoblast and epiblast develop from the embryoblast at day 8, hypoblast develops into the yolk sac, while epiblast develops into the different embryonic germ layers and the embryo and into the amnionic cavity. Extraembryonic mesoderm develops around day 11 from the hypo- and epiblast. The trophoblast cells become the placenta including cytotrophoblast, intermediate trophoblast, and syncytiotrophoblast cells, chorionic villi develop around day 13 from the trophoblast lineage (see also Fig. 2a).
