This paper deals with the progress in the management of reproduction in domestic yaks, including female reproductive biology, male reproductive biology and the main reproductive technologies in both female and male yaks. Further studies and actions with some immediate measures are also recommended.© 2007 Society for Reproduction and Fertility...

Next generation sequencing platforms have democratized genome sequencing. Large genome centers are no longer required to produce genome sequences costing millions. A few lanes of paired-end sequence on an lllumina Genome Analyzer, costing <$10,000, will produce more sequence than generated only a few years ago to produce the human and cow assemblies. The de novo assembly of large numbers of short reads into a high-quality whole-genome sequence is now technical...
