RT-PCR results for pre-meiotic (Stra8) and meiotic (Scp3, Dmc-1) markers in control and PMSG treated ovaries along with testis as positive control. Note Stra8 is observed only in control sample C2, 2D PMSG sample 2D2 and 7D PMSG sample 7D2 at very low levels compared to testicular sample. Meiotic marker Scp3 and Dmc1 are upregulated in PMSG treated samples. Each sample was obtained by pooling ovaries from two animals.
