Abstract

Mammalian sperm contains an array of RNAs including messenger RNAs (mRNAs), ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and smallRNAs (sRNAs), largely representing remnant transcripts produced during spermatogenesis. Increasing evidence hasindicated that ncRNAs, which control gene expression at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels, playcritical roles in male germ cell development. Sperm transcribe their RNA,RNAs have different role, high fertile buck havemore RNA yield /spermatozoon vs low fertile buck, transcripts such as miR-34c, BMP2, TRADD influence semen qualityand fertility.

Keywords: RNAs; Transcripts; Buck; Semen
