Targeting Inhibin Enhances Wagyu Oocyte Competence and Embryo Quality: A Comparative Study of In Vivo Immunization and In Vitro Antibody Supplementation [PDF]
AntioxidantsHigh-efficiency Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) and in vitro embryo production (IVP) are critical for the genetic improvement of high-value Wagyu cattle. However, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction during oocyte maturation remain major bottlenecks ...

Insights into natural neocentromere evolution from a cattle T2T X chromosome [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe cattle genome is crucial for understanding ruminant biology, but it remains incomplete. Here we present a telomere-to-telomere haplotype-resolved X chromosome and four autosomes of cattle in a near-complete assembly that is 431 Mb (16%) longer than ...

Exploring the Lipids Involved in the Formation of Characteristic Lactones in Japanese Black Cattle
Metabolites, 2021 The meat from Japanese Black cattle (Japanese Wagyu) is finely marbled and exhibits a rich and sweet aroma known as Wagyu beef aroma. To clarify the key metabolites involved in the aroma, we analyzed the correlation between lactone and lipid composition ...
