Hopefully we'll soon be able to share some of our own work on the connections between miRNA and reproductive phenotypes in mammals.

In the mean time, take a look at the paper lead by our colleagues in Leeds on tools for investigating maternal-embryo interactions:

Understanding conceptus–maternal interactions: what tools do we need to develop?
Communication between the maternal endometrium and developing embryo/conceptus is critical to support successful pregnancy to term. Studying the peri-implantation period of pregnancy is critical as th...
