ABSTRACT
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in the regulation of many post-transcriptional processes in reproductive cells. Regulation of maternal mRNA translation and activation of zygotic mRNA are essential to successful embryonic development. Moreover, the precise development of embryonic cell and/or tissue lineages requires temporal and spatial control of gene expression, mRNA abundance, and translation into proteins, which is in part regulated via miRNA. Here, we describe some key protocols that can be utilized to detect and quantify miRNA in in vitro produced oocytes and embryos.
