Single-cell RNA Sequencing of Wildtype and/or Dazl Mutant Mouse Ovarian Cells Across Embryonic Developmental Stages (E10.5 (Wild type), E11.5 (Wild type and Dazl-/-), E12.5 (Dazl-/-), E15.5 (Wild type)

GSE303512 Mus musculus Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing 5 samples Submitted 2026/01/15 Platform GPL19057
Summary
We have identified a Golgi- and microtubule-rich vesicular structure, "fusome" which resembles the Drosophila fusome and accumulates asymmetrically during germ cell cyst divisions starting at E11.5. Genes associated with fusome become enriched in presumptive oocytes during cyst divisions and early meiosis, suggesting a role in oocyte rejuvenation. To investigate this further, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of mouse fetal germ cells at E10.5, E11.5, and E15.5, including developmental stages not previously covered in earlier datasets (GSE136441), thereby generating a composite dataset of E10.5-P5 germ cells. Additionally, we analyzed Dazl homozygous and heterozygous mutant ovarian germ cells at E11.5 and E12.5 to study the impact of Dazl loss on cyst formation and fusome-associated gene expression dynamics. This dataset provides a comprehensive resource to explore transcriptional changes across key stages of fetal ovarian development and in the context of Dazl function.
