Transcriptome analysis of highly purified mouse spermatogenic cell populations: gene expression signatures switch from meiotic-to postmeiotic-related processes at pachytene stage

Table 1 Total numbers of up-regulated and down-regulated genes in pairwise comparisons

Samples (comparison)	Total	UP	DOWN
2C/LZ^a	1,719	880	839
LZ/PS^a	2,659	1,502	1,157
PS/RS^a	1,559	880	679

^aValues correspond to the total, up, and down-regulated genes in group 2 relative to group 1 for each comparison (LZ relative to 2C; PS relative to LZ; RS relative to PS)
The different testicular cell populations were compared according to their temporal appearance along the spermatogenic wave (|FC| ≥ 2; p ≤ 0.01)
