Furin‐Mediated Cleavage of Zona Pellucida Proteins Is Essential for Oocyte Development
The furin cleavage site mutation leads to a failure in transmembrane transport process of non‐modified ZP2 protein. This unsuccessful ZP2 secretion might result in the decreased expression of exocytosis complex SNAREs, which further induces oocyte apoptosis via p53 pathway and PI3K signaling.

We compiled a comprehensive set of ZGA genes from mice, humans, pigs, bovines and goats, demonstrating the cross‐species conservation. An interpretable machine learning model, based on k‐mer core features, accurately predicted ZGA genes, revealing abundant and intricate six‐base sequence‐specific patterns and potential binding TFs.

ZW and XY Sex Chromosomes Drive Rapid and Distinctive Evolution of Sex‐Biased Gene Expression
ABSTRACT Cichlids are a textbook model system of adaptive radiation and a fascinating example of rapid sex chromosome evolution. Yet in these fish, as in most other taxa, the mechanisms causing sex chromosome turnover and the subsequent impact thereof are unknown.
