Hierarchical clustering and heat map of the top differentially expressed genes between CCs cultured with (red bar) or without (green bar) their enclosed oocytes with a fold change of more than 16. Abbreviations, CCs + OO and CCs - OO stand for cumulus cells cultured with or without ooplasm, respectively. Numbers (1, 2 and 3) indicate the three biological replicates that were used for microarray hybridization.
