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.

Keywords: RNAs; Transcripts; Buck; Semen
