Embryonic POU5F1 is not required for D5 morula development. (A) Immunofluorescence staining for POU5F1 revealed embryos with negative, mosaic (MO) and positive expression in the CRISPR-targeted knockout group. (B) Quantification and characterization of POU5F1 expression patterns as negative (−/−), Mosaic or positive (+/+: >75% positive cells) from injected control and POU5F1 targeted embryos. * indicates difference (P < 0.05) between groups (TKO vs. IC) within mutation type. (C) Percentage of morulas with ≥16C that advanced from D3 to D5 in control and POU5F1 targeted groups. (D) Total cell number from injected control and targeted knockout (+/−, −/−) embryos. (E) Total cell number in targeted knockout embryos with zero (POU5F1−/−) or mosaic (POU5F1+/−) POU5F1 staining.
