Article Synopsis
- Immature spermatozoa mature in the epididymis, where specific regions (caput, corpus, cauda) contribute to their motility and fertilization capabilities through unique gene expressions and luminal fluid compositions.
- A study utilized RNA-seq analysis to examine gene expression differences across these epididymal regions in yak, finding the caput vs cauda pair had the most differentially expressed genes (DEGs) while corpus vs cauda had the least.
- Specific high-expressing genes were identified in each region, such as Sal1 and DEFB genes in the caput, MAN2B2 and BMP4 in the corpus, and MCT7 in the cauda, highlighting
