Expression of Genes Involved in SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Embryo Cells. Violin plots showing log10-normalized expression profiles obtained by RNA-seq performed on trophectoderm biopsies of blastocysts. Each data point represents one embryo (n = 24). Each trophectoderm biopsy consisted of 5–10 cells. (A) Canonical SARS-CoV-2 entry factors ACE2 and TMPRSS2. (B) Proposed alternative/ancillary mediators of SARS-CoV-2 entry, replication, traffic, and assembly.
