extremely significantP < 0.0001
Statistical analysis using two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test on a pairwise comparison of the profile of the unfertilized oocyte with mRNA profiles collected at different time points after fertilization revealed that the correlation between segment and mRNA level is extremely significant ( P < 0.0001), but that there is no effect of fertilization and time following fertilization ( P ≈ 1).
