Summary

Reference gene selection in mouse oocytes is an important task required to perform further adequate analysis of target gene expression levels. In the current work we have analyzed expression stability of the seven most commonly used reference genes (Actb, Eef1e1, Gapdh, H2afz, Ppia, Rpl4 and Ubc) in mouse oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage. We have performed analysis of expression stability of the above-mentioned reference genes with the three most commonly used software tools: geNorm, BestKeeper and NormFinder. Taking into account the results obtained from all of these programmes Gapdh, Rpl4 and H2afz seem to be suitable candidate reference genes in GV oocytes of mouse.
