	Non-injected zygotes	Nos-siRNA injected	SMYD3 siRNA injected
Total No.	269	279	256
2-cell	153 (56.88 ± 3.3)^a	163 (58.43 ± 4.1)^a	152 (55.88 ± 4.4)^a
8-cell	94 (34.94 ± 2.8)^a	89 (31.90 ± 3.6)^a	88 (32.35 ± 4.0)^a
Blastocyst	78 (29.00 ± 3.0)^a	67 (24.01 ± 4.0)^a	61 (23.83 ± 4.1)^a

The experimental replicates at least three times, and the result shown as mean ± SD
