Polyunsaturated fatty acids influence offspring sex ratio in cows [PDF]
, 2018 Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can influence fertility in farm animals. Some evidence in mice and sheep have suggested that PUFAs may influence offspring sex ratio, which may have significant value for cattle production.

Interaction and cross-talk between non-coding RNAs. [PDF]
, 2017 Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) has been shown to regulate diverse cellular processes and functions through controlling gene expression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) where microRNAs (miRNAs) and lncRNAs regulate each ...

Cloning and Characterization of Bovine Sry Gene
Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1995 哺乳類における性決定因子とは精巣決定因子(ヒトではTDF,動物ではTdy)であり,その本体はSRY/Sry遺伝子と考えられている.PCRで増幅したヒトSRY遺伝子の一部をプローブとしてウシのゲノムライブラリーをスクリーニングすることによりウシのSry遺伝子を含むクローンを得た.HincIIおよびBamHI部位に挟まれた2.8kbのDNA断片を検索し,進化的に保存されているHMG (High mobility group)ボックスを含めウシSry遺伝子の5'上流および3'下流の塩基配列を決定した.HMGボックスならびにその5'側上流および3'側下流領域のプライマーDNAを合成し,ホルスタイン,F1牛(ホルスタイン雌,和牛雄),ヒツジ,ヤギ,およびマウスの雌雄DNAを鋳型としてPCRを行なったところ ...

Brain Sexual Differentiation and Requirement of SRY: Why or Why Not?
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 Brain sexual differentiation is orchestrated by precise coordination of sex steroid hormones. In some species, programming of select male brain regions is dependent upon aromatization of testosterone to estrogen.

PCR amplification of SRY-related gene sequences reveals evolutionary conservation of the SRY-box motif. [PDF]
Genome Research, 1993 SRY (sex-determining region of the Y chromosome) has recently been identified as a key regulatory gene in mammalian sex determination. The open reading frame of this gene contains an 80-amino-acid motif, the SRY-box, which shares a high degree of homology with a DNA-binding domain found in the high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins HMG1 and HMG2.

Mouse Y-Encoded Transcription Factor Zfy2 Is Essential for Sperm Formation and Function in Assisted Fertilization. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 Spermatogenesis is a key developmental process allowing for a formation of a mature male gamete. During its final phase, spermiogenesis, haploid round spermatids undergo cellular differentiation into spermatozoa, which involves extensive restructuring of
