Mouse genetics provides insight into folliculogenesis, fertilization and early embryonic development

Abstract excerpt

After colonization of the gonad, mouse female germ cells enter into the prophase of the first meiotic division as a mid-gestational hallmark of gender. Perinatally, oocytes interact with granulosa cells to form primordial follicles which, with cyclic periodicity, enter into a 3-week growth phase that culminates in meiotic maturation and ovulation. Successful fertilization in the oviduct results in the onset of...
