Toward Understanding the Genetic Basis of Yak Ovary Reproduction: A Characterization and Comparative Analyses of Estrus Ovary Transcriptiome in Yak and Cattle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Yaks (Bos grunniens) are endemic species that can adapt well to thin air, cold temperatures, and high altitude. These species can survive in harsh plateau environments and are major source of animal production for local residents, being an important ...

Identification of candidate genes related to hybrid sterility by genomic structural variation and transcriptome analyses in cattle-yak

Journal of Dairy Science
: Hybrids between closely related but genetically incompatible species are often inviable or sterile. Cattle-yak, an interspecific hybrid of yak and cattle, exhibits male-specific sterility, which limits the fixation of its desired traits and prevents ...

Single-cell analysis identifies critical regulators of spermatogonial development and differentiation in cattle-yak bulls

Journal of Dairy Science
: Spermatogenesis is a continuous process in which functional sperm are produced through a series of mitotic and meiotic divisions and morphological changes in germ cells.

A COMPARATIVE HISTOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE SWEAT GLAND OF CATTLE (B. INDICUS) AND YAK (P. POEPHAGUS) [PDF]

Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2014
Yak and cattle are the species of different habitats, but are of the same genus Bos. In order to adapt to different habitats some changes may occur in cellular organizations, sweat gland morphology being one of the part of this cellular organization ...

Lower Methane Emissions from Yak Compared with Cattle in Rusitec Fermenters. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Globally methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant livestock account for 29% of total CH4 emissions. Inherited variation about CH4 emissions of different animal species might provide new opportunity for manipulating CH4 production.

Seasonal stability of the rumen microbiome contributes to the adaptation patterns to extreme environmental conditions in grazing yak and cattle

BMC Biology
Background The rumen microbiome plays an essential role in maintaining ruminants’ growth and performance even under extreme environmental conditions, however, which factors influence rumen microbiome stability when ruminants are reared in such habitats ...

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 ...
