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

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 ...

Characteristics and Functions of the Rumen Microbial Community of Cattle‐Yak at Different Ages [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2020 A cattle‐yak, which is a hybrid between a yak (Bos grunniens) and cattle (Bos taurus), is an important livestock animal, but basic questions regarding its physiology and environmental adaptation remain unanswered. To address this issue, the present study examined the species composition and functional characteristics of rumen microorganisms in the ...
