Molecular characterization and expression of Spata22 in testes of the sterile male cattle-yak [PDF]
Veterinary and Animal ScienceThe male hybrid of cattle and yak is sterile, while the female is fertile. This is caused by aberrations with the process of spermatogenesis. SPATA22 plays a critical role in the pairing of homologous chromosomes, synapsis, DNA repair, and meiotic ...

The Expression and Epigenetic Characteristics of the HSF2 Gene in Cattle-Yak and the Correlation with Its Male Sterility [PDF]
AnimalsAberrant expression of the heat shock proteins and factors was revealed to be closely associated with male reproduction. Heat shock factor 2 (HSF2) is a transcription factor that is involved in the regulation of diverse developmental pathways.

The exploration of miRNAs and mRNA profiles revealed the molecular mechanisms of cattle-yak male infertility [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Cattle-yak, the first-generation offspring of cattle and yak, inherited many excellent characteristics from their parents. However, F1 male hybrid infertility restricts the utilization of heterosis greatly. In this study, we first compared the testicular

Single-cell transcriptome analysis and in vitro differentiation of testicular cells reveal novel insights into male sterility of the interspecific hybrid cattle-yak [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Interspecific hybridization plays vital roles in enriching animal diversity, while male hybrid sterility (MHS) of the offspring commonly suffered from spermatogenic arrest constitutes the postzygotic reproductive isolation.
