Gene symbol, description, GenBank number (or NCBI Reference Sequence number for the PREDICTED proteins), and Gene Ontologies (with UniProtKB accession no.) of all the genes found to be differentially expressed (on the base of microarray analysis) when groups of “high” and “low” egg quality were compared, genes which were highly correlated with the egg fertilization rate as well as the most homogenized genes (used for qPCR data normalization)
