Results described herein provide insight regarding certain features of gamete RNA and how they compare to cumulus cell RNA. In particular, 28S/18S rRNA ratio and size distribution of RNA molecules differed in total RNA from oocytes versus surrounding cumulus cells. Specifically, oocyte total RNA had a lower rRNA ratio and an increased abundance of smaller RNA sizes compared to RNA from surrounding cumulus. Extensive efforts demonstrated that observed differences were repeatable whether oocyte maturation occurred in vitro or in vivo, and were similar between the nuclear stages examined. Features of oocyte RNA were conserved across six mammalian species, yet differed from surrounding cumulus. Profiles of sperm RNA were also examined but had no discernible ribosomal RNA peaks and were conserved across four mammalian species. Because the oocyte and spermatozoon are highly specialized cells representing unique molecular entities required for proper embryo development, dissimilarities described herein likely represent real gamete versus cumulus RNA differences.<br>
