| description | The cumulus cells (CCs) that envelope antral and ovulated oocytes have been regarded as putative source of non-invasive markers of the oocyte developmental competence and a number of studies have observed a correlation between CCs gene expression, embryo quality and final pregnancy outcome. With the aim of identifying marker transcripts, we isolated CCs from antral mouse oocytes of known developmental incompetence (NSN-CCs) or competence (SN-CCs) and compared their transcriptomes. Total RNA was isolated from cumulus cells derived from oocytes with a SN or NSN chromatin organization. |
