Furin‐Mediated Cleavage of Zona Pellucida Proteins Is Essential for Oocyte Development

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
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.

ASSOCIATION OF NUMBER OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATIONS PER PREGNANCY IN HOLSTEIN DAIRY COWS WITH POLYMORPHISM IN LUTEINIZING HORMONE RECEPTOR AND FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR GENES

open access: yesSlovenian Veterinary Research, 2017
Failure to become pregnant is the primary reason for a dairy cow to be culled from the production herd. A cow that is cycling normally, with no reproductive abnormalities, but has failed to conceive after at least three successive inseminations may ...

Deciphering Sequence Determinants of Zygotic Genome Activation Genes: Insights From Machine Learning and the ZGAExplorer Platform

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 58, Issue 12, December 2025.
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

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
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.
