N⁶-Methyladenosine Modification-Related Genes Express Differentially in Sterile Male Cattle-Yaks

Life
N6-methyladenosine (m6A), an RNA post-transcriptional modification, plays a crucial role in spermatogenesis. Cattle-yaks are interspecific hybrid offsprings of yak and cattle, and male cattle-yaks are sterile.

Characteristics and Functions of the Rumen Microbial Community of Cattle-Yak at Different Ages. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 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 ...

Study on the differences of fat deposition in cattle-yak and yak based on transcriptomics and metabolomics. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
The hybridization of yak with cattle is an effective means to improve the yak’s production performance. The fatty trait greatly affects the meat quality, the growth and development, and the reproduction of bovine. In this study, the thickness of subcutaneous fat in cattle-yaks and yaks was measured, and fatty acid composition was ...

Novel insights into whey protein among Yak, Yellow Cattle, and Cattle-Yak milk. [PDF]

Food Chem X
This study identified characteristic whey proteins from Zhongdian Yak (ZY), Diqing Yellow Cattle (DYC), and Cattle Yak (CY), revealing insights into their potential functions and released peptides. A total of 118 whey proteins were quantified in milk obtained from the three breeds of cattle, including seven characteristic proteins (IGL@ protein, 40S ...

Heat shock protein 60 expression and localisation in different tissues and testis development of male cattle (cattle-yak and yak)

Folia Morphologica, 2021
BACKGROUND: Heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) play important roles in protecting testicular development and production of sperms. This study was conducted to investigate Hsp60 gene expression and localisation in testicular development to ascertain its ...

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Spermatogenesis Arrest in Cattle-Yak [PDF]

SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae, 2014
The male infertility of cattle-yak, which is the hybrid offspring of cattle and yak, is a difficult problem for cross-breeding and improvement of yak. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing technology to obtain the transcriptomes of the testicular tissues of both cattle-yak and yak, and investigated the expression profiles of the genes ...

Comparative study on the distribution and expression of Neuroglobin and Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in the telencephalon of yak and cattle

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
The telencephalon refers to the most highly developed and anterior part of the forebrain, consisting mainly of the cerebral hemispheres. The study determined Neuroglobin (Ngb) and Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) expression in the telencephalon of yak ...

Yak rumen microbiome elevates fiber degradation ability and alters rumen fermentation pattern to increase feed efficiency

Animal Nutrition, 2022
Rumen microbes play an important role in ruminant energy supply and animal performance. Previous studies showed that yak (Bos grunniens) rumen microbiome and fermentation differ from other ruminants.

Male hybrid sterility in the cattle-yak and other bovines: a review

Biology of Reproduction, 2020
Abstract Hybridization is important for both animal breeders attempting to fix new phenotypic traits and researchers trying to unravel the mechanism of reproductive barriers in hybrid species and the process of speciation. In interspecies animal hybrids, gains made in terms of adaptation to environmental conditions and hybrid vigor may ...
