Evaluation of Seasonal Heat Stress on Transcriptomic Profiles and Global DNA Methylation of Bovine Oocytes

Heat stress affects oocyte developmental competence and is a major cause of reduced fertility in heat stressed cattle. Negative effects of heat stress on the oocyte have been observed at morphological, biochemical and developmental levels. However, the mechanisms by which heat stress affects the ooc...
