Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the roles of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) derived from the Y chromosome in mice, particularly during spermatogenesis, amid the challenge of repeated sequences.
  • Researchers identified new male-specific long noncoding RNAs (Pirmy and Pirmy-like RNAs) and their splice variants, revealing their potential links to genes involved in sperm function.
  • The findings suggest that these ncRNAs may regulate autosomal genes through piRNAs, shedding light on their impact on male fertility and speciation in mammals.

Hydatidosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus granulosus is considered an economically important disease due to the condemnation of affected visceral organs of domestic animals. The lungs and liver are the most commonly affected organs and is less frequently observed in spleen particularly in buffaloes compared to cattle. Out of 980 slaughtered buffaloes screened for hydatidosis a case of spleenic hydatidosis was noticed.
