Changes in Transcriptomic Profiles in Different Reproductive Periods in Yaks.

ABSTRACT: Yak reproductive characteristics have received extensive attention, though the molecular regulation mechanism of its ovarian activity remains to be explored. Therefore, this study initially conducted a comparative analysis of yak ovarian activities in anestrus, estrus, and pregnancy regarding their morphology and histology, followed by implementing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology to detect the overall gene expression and biological mechanism in different reproductive stages. H&E staining showed that there were more growing follicles and mature follicles in ovarian tissue sections during estrus than ovarian tissues during non-estrus. The RNA-seq analysis of yak ovary tissues in three periods showed that DEGs related to follicular development and hormone metabolism were screened in the t
