Mammalian semen is a physiological fluid composed of a cellular fraction (spermatozoa),
and a liquid fraction (seminal plasma). Once delivered to the female genital tract …

Understanding the molecular basis of cell function and ultimate phenotypes is crucial for the
development of biological markers. With this aim, several RNA-seq studies have been …

Summer infertility continues to undermine pig productivity, costing the pig industry millions in
annual losses. The boar's inefficient capacity to sweat, non-pendulous scrotum and the …

The environmental temperature increased during summer and decreased during winter to
the limits that might negatively affect animal and human reproduction. The responses of …

Understanding the cell molecular changes occurring as a results of climatic circumstances is
crucial in the current days in which climate change and global warming are one of the most …

A combined Genotyping By Sequencing (GBS) and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation
(MeDIP) protocol was used to identify—in parallel—genetic variation (Genomic-Wide …

Seasonal variations in semen parameters play a critical role in the reproductive efficiency
and fertility of domestic animals. Factors such as temperature, photoperiod, and humidity …

The study of the protein composition of semen (ie, spermatozoa and seminal plasma) is not
