During mouse development:
1. What kind of junctions are formed during compaction?
2. What is the role of the mural trophectoderm?
3. What is the role of the AVE?
4. You would like to study the effect of GeneX in the developing mouse liver. However, your supervisor says that Genex knockouts (loss of function mutants) are embryonic lethal. What technique could you use to knockout Genex only in the liver without causing embryonic lethality? Describe how you would do this experiment.
