Quantification of oocyte-specific transcripts in follicle-enclosed oocytes during antral development and maturation in vitro

Abstract excerpt

Oocyte cytoplasmic maturation is influenced by the quantity of synthesized RNA and proteins accumulated and stored during growth. Transcriptional repression and degradation of transcripts occur during oocyte nuclear maturation, and prolonged transcriptional arrest might compromise RNA stores for early development. RNA quantification of key genes in oocytes might be valuable when setting up in vitro cultures that...
