Mouse Oocyte Development Methods and Protocols

This book details methods on various aspects of the very final stages of mouse oocyte development. Chapters guide the reader through in vitro growth of follicles, production of a fully-grown competent mouse oocyte, meiosis resumption, analysis of spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, analysis...
