- Authors
Hamayun Khan; Khezri, Abdolrahman
- Abstract
This document is an editorial published in the journal Frontiers in Genetics. It discusses the regulation of fertility in livestock species and the advancements in reproductive biotechnology techniques. The editorial highlights the importance of understanding the impact of these technologies on the health and physiology of newly generated animals. It also emphasizes the use of omics technologies, such as genomics and transcriptomics, to study molecular and cellular dynamics in fertility molecules. The editorial calls for new knowledge on the expression levels and functions of sperm RNA, proteins, and metabolites to improve fertility prediction in breeding bulls. The research topic received manuscripts on various livestock species, including goats, Atlantic salmon, dairy cows, and sheep, focusing on genetic and environmental regulation of fertility traits. The manuscripts explored topics such as transcriptome profiling, DNA methylation, and endometrial DNA methylation signatures. The editorial concludes by stating that the regulation of fertility in livestock species is crucial for efficient and sustainable food production.
