Small RNA sequencing of cryopreserved semen from single bull revealed altered miRNAs and piRNAs expression between High- and Low-motile sperm populations

Abstract

Small RNAs sequencing data obtained from single bulls are consistent with previous findings. Specific miRNAs are differentially represented in low versus high motile sperm, suggesting an alteration of cell functions and increased germ cell apoptosis in the low motile fraction.
