Analysis of Chromatin Openness in Testicle Tissue of Yak and Cattle-Yak [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Cattle-yak, a crossbreed of yak and cattle, which can exhibit obvious heterosis and can adapt to the harsh environmental conditions of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (QTP). However, F1 cattle-yak were found to be sterile because they were unable to produce sperm, which adversely restricted the fixation of heterosis.

Divergent Amplification of Y-Linked Dosage-Sensitive Genes Triggers Regulatory Mismatch Underlying Cattle–Yak Male Sterility [PDF]
BiomoleculesAs the hybrid offspring of cattle and yak, cattle–yaks suffer from male sterility, manifesting as cascading spermatogenic failure. Despite the Y chromosome’s pivotal role in spermatogenesis, the absence of a high-quality yak Y assembly has long impeded ...
