Abstract Endometriosis, a pathological condition in which the endometrium grows outside uterus, is one of most common causes female infertility; it diagnosed 25–40% infertile women. The mechanism by endometriosis affects fertility females remains largely unknown. We examined ultrastructure oocytes from patients with minimal or mild and control undergoing vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate physiological significance oocyte quality for...

Fanconi anemia (FA) genes play important roles in spermatogenesis. In mice, disruption of Fancm impairs male fertility and testicular integrity, but whether FANCM pathogenic variants (PV) similarly affect men is unknown. Here we characterize a Pakistani family having three infertile brothers, two manifesting oligoasthenospermia one exhibiting azoospermia, born to first-cousin parents. A homozygous PV (c.1946_1958del, p.P648Lfs*16) was found cosegregating with infertility. Our objective...

Multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) are most severe form asthenozoospermia due to impaired axoneme structure in flagella. Dynein arms necessary components flagellar axoneme. In this study, we recruited 3 unrelated consanguineous Pakistani families with multiple MMAF-affected individuals, who had no overt ciliary symptoms. Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger identified 2 cilia associated protein 57 (CFAP57) loss-of-function mutations (c.2872C>T, p. R958*;...

Gastric cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed with second highest mortality rate worldwide. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are generally used for treatment of stomach but only limited clinical response shown by these therapies still no effectual advanced gastric adenocarcinoma patients available. Therefore, there a need to identify other therapeutic agents against this life-threatening disease. Plants considered as one important sources development anticancer drugs....

: Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology has revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) are capable of exhibiting frequent differences from their corresponding mature reference sequences, generating multiple variants: the isoforms miRNAs (isomiRs). These isomiRs mainly originate via imprecise and alternative cleavage during pre-miRNA processing post-transcriptional modifications influence miRNA stability, sub-cellular localization target selection. Although several tools for identification isomiR...

CDH2 (cadherin 2, Neural-cadherin, or N-cadherin) is the predominant protein of testicular basal ectoplasmic specializations (basal ES; a testis-specific type adhesion junction), one major cell junctions composing blood-testis barrier (BTB). The BTB found between adjacent Sertoli cells in seminiferous tubules, which divides tubules into and adluminal compartments prevents deleterious exchange macromolecules blood tubules. However, exact roles ES function spermatogenesis still unknown. We...

Small RNA (sRNA) Sequencing technology has revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) are capable of exhibiting frequent variations from their canonical sequences, generating multiple variants: the isoforms miRNAs (isomiRs). However, integrated tool to precisely detect and systematically annotate isomiRs sRNA sequencing data is still in great demand. Here, we present an online tool, DeAnnIso (Detection Annotation IsomiRs data). can all uploaded sample, extract differentially expressing paired or...

The Common House Crow (Corvus splendens) exhibits remarkable ecological adaptability, enabling its rapid expansion across continents. However, despite wide distribution, there is a need for genetic studies to clarify evolutionary history and population structure. This research employs DNA barcoding, focusing on the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (Cox1), which effective species identification phylogenetic analysis. Blood samples were collected from 70 C. splendens specimens...
