Fig. 8From: Transcriptome analysis of highly purified mouse spermatogenic cell populations: gene expression signatures switch from meiotic-to postmeiotic-related processes at pachytene stageRepresentation of the transcription and execution times of four selected GO categories. The diagram represents the time when the biological processes shown in the heat maps in Figs. 4c and 5c are transcriptionally activated, and when these processes are executed along the first spermatogenic wave in mouse. The onset (in dpp) for the different stages along the first spermatogenic wave is denoted on top. The time of histone substitution - first by TNP and then by PRM - is also represented. PGC: primordial germ cells; Spg: spermatogonia; PL: preleptotene; L: leptotene; Z: zygotene; P: pachytene; D: diplotene; M: meiotic divisionsBack to article page
