Summary (written by the submitters)
Age of the donor animal has a significant influence on the oocyte’s ability to complete maturation and acquire the mRNA and proteins required for normal embryonic development. It is well known that developmental competence is reduced in oocytes derived from juvenile animals when compared to that derived from adults. However, the molecular mechanisms associated with these differences are not well elucidated.

The aim of this study was to analyze the transcriptome differences between adult versus prepubertal derived preimplantation embryos and to identify genes associated with oocyte developmental potential. We performed cDNA microarray analysis on populations of preimplantation embryos (8- to 16-cell and Day 7 blastocysts) derived from adult versus prepubertal Japanese Black cattle. Total RNA was extracted and amplified in a linear fashion and then subjected to the microarray hybridization using the Affymetrix GeneChip Bovine Genome Array. The Bovine Array contains 24 072 probe sets representing over 23000 transcripts and 19000 UniGene clusters. Following normalization of the microarray data, analysis revealed differences in gene expression abundance in 8- to 16-cell and blastocysts harvested from adult versus prepubertal heifers. Results indicated that a total of 591 and 490 genes were differentially expressed (≥2-fold) in 8- to 16-cell and blastocyst respectively between the two groups (p<0.01). In 8- to 16-cell stage, 373 genes were up-regulated and 218 gens down-regulated in adult when compared to the prepubertal heifer group. In case of blastocyst stage embryos, 242 genes were up-regulated and 248 genes were down-regulated in adult when compared to prepubertal group.

3 · The original raw files

Whole study · RAW.tar

Everything the authors deposited as one archive (GSE24596_RAW.tar), including the raw array or instrument files. Can be large; the picker in step 2 takes just the samples you need.

What the files usually look like: For arrays the series matrix is normally the normalised expression table you want; the raw array files (CEL and similar) are in the RAW.tar.
