The promoter of the oocyte-specific gene, Oog1, functions in both male and female meiotic germ cells in transgenic mice.
Oog1 is an oocyte-specific gene whose expression is turned on in mouse oocytes at embryonic day (E) 15.5, concomitant with the time when most of the female germ cells stop proliferating and enter meiotic prophase. Here, we characterize the Oog1 promoter, and show that transgenic GFP reporter express...
