ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Btg4 null female mice produce morphologically normal oocytes that, due to the accumulation of maternal mRNAs, arrest at the one-cell stage after fertilization
  • Btg4-null females produced morphologically normal oocytes but were infertile, owing to early developmental arrest
