Comparing the Transcriptomes of Wild Type (WT) and Gdf9-Cre or Zp3-Cre mediated Mtor Oocyte-Conditional Knockout (referred to as MG and MZ, respectively) Mouse GV-stage fully-grown oocytes (FGO) by RNA-Seq Analysis
The goal of this study is to identify the differentially expressed genes in Gdf9-Cre and Zp3-Cre mediated Mtor oocyte-specific knockout (CKO) GV-stage fully-grown oocytes (FGO) by comparing their transcriptomes with that of the wild-type (WT) via RNA-Seq Analysis. Overall design: Methods: mRNA profiles of 3 sets of GV-stage FGOs collected from the large antral follicles of 23-day old WT-, MG-, and MZ- CKO female mice were generated by deep sequencing using HiSeq X Ten platform with 150bp pair-end reads. All reads passed filter were trimmed to remove low-quality bases and adaptor sequences. Reads were then aligned to the mm10 reference genome using tophat2 (v2.0.13), and FPKMs were calculated and normalized using cufflinks (v2.2.1). The differentially expressed genes were calculated using default parameter of cuffdiff (v2.2.1). Hierarchical clustering was carried on log2(FPKM+1) across samples. Genes used for clustering were selected by maximum FPKM=1 and with top 10% standard deviation of log2(FPKM+1).
