Journal ArticleDOI
The Gametic Synapse; RNA Transfer to the Bovine Oocyte
Angus D. Macaulay,Isabelle Gilbert,Julieta Caballero,Rodrigo da Silva Nunes Barreto,Eric Fournier,Prudencio Tossou,Marc-André Sirard,Hugh J. Clarke,Edward W. Khandjian,Francois Richard,Poul Hyttel,Claude Robert +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the somatic cells surrounding the fully grown bovine oocyte contribute to the maternal reserves by actively transferring large cargo, including mRNA and long noncoding RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cumulus Cell Transcripts Transit to the Bovine Oocyte in Preparation for Maturation
Angus D. Macaulay,Isabelle Gilbert,Sara Scantland,Eric Fournier,Fazl A. Ashkar,Alexandre Bastien,Habib A. Shojaei Saadi,D. Gagné,Marc-André Sirard,Edouard W. Khandjian,Francois Richard,Poul Hyttel,Claude Robert +12 more
TL;DR: A new perspective to the determinants of oocyte quality and female fertility is offered, as well as insight that may eventually be used to improve in vitro maturation conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining resources to obtain a comprehensive survey of the bovine embryo transcriptome through deep sequencing and microarrays.

TL;DR: Results obtained during this study have already led to the identification of differentially expressed blastocyst targets, NTRs, splice variants of the indel type, and 3′UTR variants, indicating that the EmbryoGENE bovine microarray has the power to detect physiologically relevant changes in gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of microRNAs and their precursors in bovine early embryonic development
TL;DR: It is suggested that miRNAs could be important players in the maternal-to-embryonic transition, as expression profiles suggest a potential regulation role during early development steps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Campylobacteriosis in urban versus rural areas: a case-case study integrated with molecular typing to validate risk factors and to attribute sources of infection.
TL;DR: The increased incidence in rural compared to urban areas was associated with occupational exposure to animals, particularly cattle among those aged 15–34 years, and with consumption of private well water, and the results provide a basis for developing public education and preventive programs targeting the risk factors identified.
