Multi-omics insights into the energy compensation of rumen microbiota of grazing yaks in cold season [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundThe ability of yaks to adapt to the extreme environment of low temperatures and hypoxia at cold seasons on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is related to the host genome; however, the convergent evolution of rumen microbiomes in host adaption is

Cloning and Expression Analysis of Two Kdm Lysine Demethylases in the Testes of Mature Yaks and Their Sterile Hybrids

Animals, 2020
The objective of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism for male sterility of yak hybrids based on two demethylases. Total RNA was extracted from the testes of adult yaks (n = 10) and yak hybrids (cattle−yaks, n = 10).

Metagenomic Analysis Reveals A Gut Microbiota Structure and Function Alteration between Healthy and Diarrheic Juvenile Yaks

Animals
Diarrhea-induced mortality among juvenile yaks is highly prevalent in the pastoral areas of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Although numerous diseases have been linked to the gut microbial community, little is known about how diarrhea affects the gut ...

Evolutionary origin of genomic structural variations in domestic yaks [PDF]

, 2023
Yak has been subject to natural selection, human domestication and interspecific introgression during its evolution. However, genetic variants favored by each of these processes have not been distinguished previously. We constructed a graph-genome for 47

Effects of Short-Chain Fatty Acid Modulation on Potentially Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in Yaks Through Metagenomic Sequencing

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are principal nutrient substrates of intestinal epithelial cells that regulate the epithelial barrier in yaks. Until now, metagenomics sequencing has not been reported in diarrheal yaks.
