Transcriptomic Study of Spermatogenesis in the Testis of Hu Sheep and Tibetan Sheep

Genes, 2022
Numerous genes involved in male reproduction regulate testis development and spermatogenesis. In this study, the testis tissue transcriptome was used to identify candidate genes and key pathways associated with fecundity in sheep. Histological analysis of testis tissue using hematoxylin–eosin (HE) routine staining was performed for two sheep breeds ...
