Figure 1From: Identification, characterization and metagenome analysis of oocyte-specific genes organized in clusters in the mouse genomeLocalization of germ-cell-specific cluster in mouse chromosome 9, 12, 14 and 19 [9]. The presence of mRNAs or ESTs of these different genes in male and female germ cells was assessed by experimental (RT-PCR, Southern blot and in situ hybridization) and/or in silico methodologies as described in Methods. O stands for Ovary/Egg; T stands for Testis.Back to article page
