Article Abstract
Background: Cattle (Bos taurus) are a major large livestock, however, compared with other species, the transcriptional specificity of bovine oocyte development has not been emphasised.
Results: To reveal the unique transcriptional signatures of bovine oocyte development, we used integrated multispecies comparative analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to perform bioinformatic analysis of the germinal follicle (GV) and second meiosis (MII) gene expression profile from cattle, sheep, pigs and mice. We found that the expression levels of most genes were down-regulated from GV to MII in all species. Next, the multispecies comparative analysis showed more genes involved in the regulation of cAMP signalling during bovine oocyte development. Moreover, the green module identified by WGCNA was closely related to bovine oocyte development. Finally, integrated multispecies comparative analysis and WGCNA picked up 61 bovine-specific signature genes that participate in metabolic regulation and steroid hormone biosynthesis.
Conclusion: In a short, this study provides new insights into the regulation of cattle oocyte development from a cross-species comparison.

Background And Aim: Granulosa cells (GCs) are crucial mediators of follicular development and oocyte competence in goats, with their gene expression profiles serving as potential biomarkers of fertility. However, the lack of a standardized, quantifiable method to assess GC quality using transcriptomic data has limited the translation of such findings into reproductive applications. This study aimed to develop a hybrid deep learning model integrating one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1DCNNs) and gated recurrent units (GRUs) to classify GCs as fertility-supporting (FS) or non-fertility-supporting (NFS) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.

Background And Aim: Porcine follicular fluid (pFF) is frequently used to mimic the follicular microenvironment during maturation (IVM) of oocytes. However, the influence of oxidative stress levels within pFF on oocyte quality and embryo development remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how varying oxidative stress index (OSI) of pFF affect porcine oocyte meiotic progression, fertilization, and embryonic development during IVM.

Metabolic stress and negative energy balance (NEB) are typical undesirable accompanying phenomenon of the post-partum period in dairy cattle. They negatively affect not only milk production but also the reproductive abilities of the cow, and it is therefore desirable to recognize NEB early to prevent its development. Metabolic stress markers are traditionally total cholesterol (tChol), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and triacylglycerols (TAGs).

Zona pellucida glycoprotein-1 (ZP1) is essential for maintaining oocyte structural integrity and facilitating fertilization. Mutations in are strongly associated with primary infertility disorders such as fertilization failure and empty follicle syndrome; however, the absence of accurate experimental models has hindered mechanistic understanding and obscured the etiological basis of -related infertility. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing was employed to generate two -edited cynomolgus macaques ( ), designated #ZP1-1 (male) and #ZP1-2 (female).

Mitochondria in the egg are suggested to be crucial for the onset of new life. However, there is ambiguous knowledge about the necessity for fertilization and early embryonic development. Therefore, we created a conditional Tfam knockout (Tfam; Zp3-Cre) to produce Tfam oocytes for investigation of the mitochondrial abundance in oocytes and early embryos.
