Circular RNA Expression and Regulation Profiling in Testicular Tissues of Immature and Mature Wandong Cattle ().

Wandong cattle are an autochthonous Chinese breed used extensively for beef production. The breed tolerates extreme weather conditions and raw feed and is resistant to tick-borne diseases. However, the genetic basis of testis development and sperm production as well as breeding management is not well established in local cattle.

Identification and functional annotation of m6A methylation modification in granulosa cells during antral follicle development in pigs.

The N-methyladenosine (m6A) derivative has the capacity for ubiquitous epigenetic modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) that regulates gene expression through post-transcriptional mRNA modifications. Findings with mapping of m6A methylomes have indicated there are potential functions of this derivative in different cell types of several species. A profile of m6A methylomes and potential functions in granulosa cells of pigs during antral follicle development, however, has not yet occurred.
