Abstract

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