Abstract excerpt
Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is preferentially expressed in oocytes and is essential for female fertility. To identify regulatory elements that confer high-level expression of GDF9 in the ovary but repression in other tissues, we generated transgenic mice in which regions of the Gdf9 locus were fused to reporter genes. Two transgenes (-10.7/+5.6mGdf9-GFP) and (-3.3/+5.6mGdf9-GFP) that contained...
