-The Test Case is related to the Bioinformatic work and Biostatistics needed to collect gather and analyze molecular info data from a project aiming at studying reproductive robustness in dairy cattle. In this project  data will originate from different sets of biological material obtained in an in vitro model related to oocyte and granulosa cell cultureBiological material will be issued from genital tracts of cows of 2 genetic originsAfter aspiration of cells from follicles, oocytes and granulosa cells  will be challenged with metabolic mediators (inslulin or NEFA and then cultivated for 24hrsPart of the oocytes will be used for molecular analyses before and after the 24 hours maturation while others will be in vitro fertilized and zygotes cultivated up to the blastocyst stage (day 7 of culture)Oocytes, granulosa cells and embryos will be studied for gene expression and epigeneticsThis is part of 2 projects one granted by FORMAS in 2010 and the other one presented this year. Collection of material has started for the first project. Phenotypic analysis and molecular analysis should be produced during beginning of 2013. Bioinformatic analyses should take place middle /end of 2014. +From the work planned we will produce and need to integrate and relate information from phenotypic information, genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics  in different types of tissues i.e. oocytesgranulosa cells and embryos, obtained  without or after exposure to metabolic stressors  (or 5). It is also planned to study the basic status  of cells (0h) and response at different times (at least 24h maturation) after challenge with metabolic stressors. In the second project, oocytes will be produced in vivo from OPU and from slaughter house. Embryos will be produced in vitro and in vivoBreed effects will be studied in the basic situation (absence of metabolic stressors  and following challenges)It is planned to test different dosages (at least 3)  per type of metabolic stressor (insulin project 1NEFA project 2) On oocytes and granulosa cells.

 Dairy cow fertility has been decreasing for a long time due to genetic selection mainly orientated towards milk production. Metabolic imbalance is affecting around 70% or more of dairy cows during the period following parturition. Some cows recover from metabolic imbalance rather rapidly while others remain in negative energy balance that Induces reproductive disorders such as delayed resumption of ovarian activity and poor fertility / embryo quality. This induces longer intervals between calving and conception due mainly to conception failures and early embryonic death. There may be also differences in relation with genetic origin, in the way cows suffer from the disease and in the way reproduction is affected. The proposed projects (submitted to FORMAS in 2010 and 2012) aims to integrate phenotypic and molecular information to understand, predict and find solutions to lower the impact of metabolic stress in cows. One of the aims is to find molecular markers from oocytes, granulosa cells or embryos which may be related to different phenotypic expression and which may be  differentially expressed in relation with genetic origin of cells. Dairy cow fertility has been decreasing for a long time due to genetic selection mainly orientated towards milk production.

-nd+These test cases represent an example of what could be repeated for different types of stressors (other metabolic stressors, environmental disruptors.... ) on oocytes and granulosa cells to study the impact of such changes on the early embryo. The same type of model could be used to study the effect of pathogens while exposing different biological material (embryos or oocytes) to study host interactions with pathogens in reproductive tissues and potential differences between breeds to infection
