Contrast of poly-ribosomal mRNA in germina vesicle (GV) and metaphase II (MII) bovine oocytes.. Bos taurus

Poly-ribosomal mRNA from pools of 75 bovine oocytes at the germinal vesicle(GV) and metaphase II(MII) stages were isolated by sucrose fractionation then compared through microarray hybridization. Overall design: 3 biological replicates from germinal vesicle(GV) and metaphase II(MII) bovine oocytes were hybridized against each other while alternating dyes. One additional technical replicate (dye-swap of one of the previous hybridizations) was added to balance dye usage. The normalized log2 ratio (GV/MII) data is provided in the 'normalized_data.txt' file. Please note that data were scanned/extracted using a different Agilent reference file, and thus the feature extraction number for a given probe (in both normalized and raw data files) is different from that in the official Agilent-041017 platform (GPL18537). The reference file used for this study is provided as a Series supplementary file (041017_D_DNAFront_BCBottom_20120517.txt).
