Expression data from late-luteal bovine endometrium

In both beef and dairy cattle, the majority of embryo loss occurs in the first 14-16 days following insemination. During this period, the embryo is completely dependent on its maternal uterine environment for development, growth and ultimately survival, therefore an optimum uterine environment is critical to embryo survival.
