Transcriptomics of granulosa cells(GCs) from healthy follicles(HFs), early atretic follicles(EFs) and late atretic follicle(LFs) in Chinese buffalo

Compared with granulosa cells from healthy follicles, 2888 (1790 up-regulated, 1098 down-regulated) and 1629 (1230 up-regulated, 399 down-regulated) DEGs (|FC| > 1.75 and P value < 0.05) were identified in granulosa cells of early atretic follicles and late atretic follicle, respectively. Out of these DEGs, 1217 genes were commonly shared among the two comparisons GCs were collected from healthy follicles, early atretic follicles and late atretic follicle for transcriptome analysis using second-generation high-throughput sequencing
