An investigation on the relationship between the azoospermia-like (Dazl) gene mrna expression and the infertility in male cattle-yak [Sığır-yak melezlerinde azoospermia-benzeri (DAZL) gen mRNA ekspresyon düzeyi ile ınfertilite arasındaki ılişki üzerine bir araştırma]

This study was conducted to study the relationship between the infertility of male cattle-yak and the expression level of dazl gene mrna. the expression profiles were obtained by rt-pcr. the dazl gene was specifically expressed in cattle,yak and cattle-yak testis tissues,which confirmed its important role in the progression of cell cycle. real-time quantitative pcr analysis indicated that the expression levels of dazl gene in cattle and yak testis were higher than its in cattle-yak,also cattle-yak and yak were significantly differet than cattle,respectively (p<0.05). therefore,the low expression level of dazl gene might result in male cattle-yak infertility. © 2016,veteriner fakultesi dergisi. all rights reserved.
