The mRNA Expression and Methylation Status in Imprinting Control Region of H19 Gene Between Cattle-Yak and Their Parents

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
The H19 gene, which is imprinted with preferential expression from the maternal allele, was one of the first identified imprinting genes in mammals.

Maternal Fecal Microbes Contribute to Shaping the Early Life Assembly of the Intestinal Microbiota of Co-inhabiting Yak and Cattle Calves

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau offers one of the most extreme environments for yaks (Bos grunniens). Although the genetic adaptability of yak and rumen metagenomes is increasingly understood, the relative contribution of host genetics and maternal symbiotic

Comparison of Dynamics of Udder Skin Microbiota From Grazing Yak and Cattle During the Perinatal Period on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The perinatal period has an important impact on the health of ruminants, and the imbalance of udder skin microbiota might be an important inducement of bovine mastitis. However, it is not clear how the perinatal period affects the microbial structure and

Comparing the Microbial Community in Four Stomach of Dairy Cattle, Yellow Cattle and Three Yak Herds in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Yak (Bos grunniens) is an unique ruminant species in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). The ruminant gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota is not only associated with the nutrients metabolism, but also contributes to the host’s local adaptation ...

Transcriptome analysis identified long non-coding RNAs involved in the adaption of yak to high-altitude environments

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
The mechanisms underlying yak adaptation to high-altitude environments have been investigated using various methods, but no report has focused on long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). In the present study, lncRNAs were screened from the gluteus transcriptomes of

Whole-Genome Analysis Deciphers Population Structure and Genetic Introgression Among Bovine Species

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
It is known that throughout history and presently, taurine (Bos taurus) and indicine/zebu (Bos indicus) cattle were crossed with other bovine species (e.g., gayal, gaur, banteng, yak, wisent, and bison).

Effects of the higher concentrate ratio on the production performance, ruminal fermentation, and morphological structure in male cattle‐yaks [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
Abstract Background The present study evaluated the effects of the different concentrate‐to‐forage ratio on the parameters of production, ruminal fermentation, blood biochemical indices, and ruminal epithelial morphological structure of the male cattle‐yaks.

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 ...
