Normal testicular development is essential for sustaining male fertility in livestock, yet the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood, particularly in environmentally adapted breeds such as the yak. In this study, we employed an integrated 4D-DIA proteomic and transcriptomic strategy...
Hexi cattle are an indigenous beef breed developed through multigenerational crossing of Simmental and Mongolian cattle, exhibiting exceptional adaptability to arid and semi-arid environments alongside robust growth performance. To investigate the genetic architecture underlying early growth traits, we conducted a GWAS...

Introduction The Jersey-yak, a hybrid offspring of Jersey cattle and yak, exhibits characteristics such as strong adaptability, rapid growth and development, and outstanding production performance. Therefore, Jersey-yaks were fed diets with different crude protein (CP) levels (0%, 15.16%, and 17.90% CP, respectively),...

Fiber yield and hair length are important economic traits in Tianzhu White Yak. However, the genetic variants associated with fiber production performance in this breed remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to investigate the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CFAP299 and PRDM...

Simple Summary Tianzhu white yaks are multipurpose livestock that support pastoral communities on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, where animals must cope with cold, low oxygen, and seasonal feed shortages. Genetic variants associated with body weight and body size may help improve genetic evaluation. In this study, 536 Tian...
