Maternal factors required for oocyte developmental competence in mice: Transcriptome analysis of non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) and surrounded nucleolus (SN) oocytes
15 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
During mouse antral follicle development, the oocyte chromatin gradually transforms from a less condensed state with no Hoechst-positive rim surrounding the nucleolus (NSN) to a fully condensed chromatin state with a Hoechst-positive rim surrounding the nucleolus (SN). Compared with SN oocytes, NSN oocytes display a higher gene transcription activity and a lower rate of meiosis resumption (G2/M transition), and...
