Whole transcriptome sequencing of testis and epididymis reveals genes associated with sperm development in roosters
Whole transcriptome sequencing of chicken testis and epididymis screened several key genes and ceRNA regulatory networks, which may be involved in the regulation of epididymal immunity, spermatogenesis and sperm viability through the pathways of MAPK, TGF-β, mTOR, and calcium ion. These findings contribute to our comprehensive understanding of the intricate molecular processes underlying rooster spermatogenesis, maturation and motility.
