Transcriptome analysis of ovine granulosa cells from small follicles during the estrous cycle

The objective of this study was to compare and analyze the global transcriptional profile using RNA sequencing in ovine granulosa cells from small antral follicles (1-3 mm) collected either in the follicular or in luteal phases of the estrous cycle.

本研究旨在采用RNA测序（RNA sequencing）技术，对分别采集自绵羊发情周期（estrous cycle）卵泡期与黄体期的直径1-3 mm小窦状卵泡（small antral follicles）内的绵羊颗粒细胞（ovine granulosa cells）的全转录组表达谱进行比较分析。
