Expression data from pig oviduct in response to X or Y chromosome bearing spermatozoa

ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study is to investigate if females have the ability to recognise X or Y chromosome bearing spermatozoa and present a different response to different spermatozoa. In order to investigate if females have the ability to recognise X or Y chromosome bearing spermatozoa and present a different response to different spermatozoa. Samples of semen were sorted for chromosomal sex by M-oM-,M-^Bow cytometric-sorting. Using laparoscopic insemination one oviduct was inseminated with X spermatozoa and the contralateral oviduct was inseminated with Y spermatozoa.This allowed us to obtain samples from the oviduct in contact with X sperm and Y sperm in the the contrlateral oviduct from the same sow. Oviduct pig samples were collected for RNA isolation and hybridization on Affyme
