List of OCT-4-regulated genes expressed in both MII oocytes and 2-cell embryos. Comparison of gene expression is made between MII^NSN vs. MII^ctrl or 2-cell^NSN vs. 2-cell^ctrl. Red box, up-regulated; green box, down-regulated; blank box, not differentially expressed. The hypergeometric test proved that the up- (MII^NSN oocytes) and down-regulated (2-cell^NSN embryos) pattern of expression of the majority genes (*) was not a stochastic event (p = 0.0039).
