Article Synopsis
- - The article discusses heat stress (HS) in mammals, which disrupts their thermal balance and negatively impacts the development of oocytes and embryos, resulting in economic losses in the livestock industry.
- - It outlines the mechanisms by which HS affects embryonic development, including the generation of reactive oxygen species, endocrine disruption, and molecular changes.
- - The article also explores strategies to mitigate HS effects, such as using antioxidants, enhancing mitochondrial function, gene editing, and improving the animals' rearing environment.
Meta-analysis evidence of maternal lineages in Chinese Tibetan sheep using mtDNA D-loop panel.
Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal
July 2017
The Tibetan sheep is an indigenous breed living in the entire Tibetan Plateau, and its origin and phylogenic relationships are still uncertain and controversial. In this study, we analyzed partial mtDNA D-loop sequences of 156 Chinese Tibetan sheep individuals from 12 distributed geographic ecotype populations. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that three maternal lineages (haplogroups A, B and C) were found in this breed and that Ovis vignei and Ovis ammon have possibly contributed to the original Tibetan sheep.
