Sperm functional genome associated with bull fertility
Bull fertility is an important economic trait in sustainable cattle production, as infertile or
subfertile bulls give rise to large economic losses. Current methods to assess bull fertility are …

Scans for signatures of selection in Russian cattle breed genomes reveal new candidate genes for environmental adaptation and acclimation
Domestication and selective breeding has resulted in over 1000 extant cattle breeds. Many
of these breeds do not excel in important traits but are adapted to local environments. These …
