High throughput small RNA and transcriptome sequencing reveal capacitation-related microRNAs and mRNA in boar sperm

Abstract Background Capacitation, a prerequisite for oocyte fertilization, is a complex process involving series of structural and functional changes in sperms such as membrane modifications, modulation of enzyme activities, and protein phosphorylation. In order to penetrate and fertilize an oocyte,...
