Abstract The regulation of mammalian early-embryonic development is a complex, coordinated process that involves widespread transcriptomic and epigenetic remodeling. The main cause of developmental failure in preimplantation embryos after in vitro fertilization is the irreversible arrested-at-cleavage stage. To deepen our understanding of this embryonic block, we profiled a single-cell multi-omics map of copy number variations (CNVs), the transcriptome, the DNA methylome, and the chromatin state of bovine eight-cell embryos with a two-cell fate that either arrested or developed into blastocysts. To do this, we sequenced a biopsied blastomere and tracked the developmental potential of the remaining cells. Aneuploid embryos inferred by CNVs from DNA- and RNA-library data tended to lose their developmental potency. Analysis of distinct genomic regions of DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility revealed that enrichment of gene function and signaling pathways, such as the MAPK signaling pathway, was altered in arrested euploid eight-cell embryos compared with blastocyst-developed euploid eight-cell embryos. Moreover, the RNA expression and chromatin accessibility of embryonic genome activation-associated genes were lower in arrested euploid embryos than in blastocyst-developed embryos. Taken together, our results indicate that the developmental block of eight-cell embryos can be caused by multiple molecular layers, including CNVs, abnormality of DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility, and insufficient expression of embryonic genome activation-associated genes. Our integrated and comprehensive data set provides a valuable resource to further dissect the exact mechanisms underlying the arrest of bovine eight-cell embryos in vitro. Summary Sentence Single-cell biopsy and omics technology reveal that the arrest of bovine eight-cell embryos in vitro involves multi-faceted challenges, including CNVs, abnormal DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility, and insufficient expression of EGA genes.
