Cervical immune activation during the luteal phase may compromise subsequent trans-cervical ram sperm transport†
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1093/biolre/ioac130

Worldwide, cervical artificial insemination using frozen-thawed semen yields low pregnancy rates. The only exception to this is in Norway, where vaginal insemination with frozen-thawed semen yields pregnancy rates in excess of 60% and which…

Conserved and breed-specific differences in the cervical transcriptome of sheep with divergent fertility at the follicular phase of a natural oestrus cycle
BMC genomics ·doi:10.1186/s12864-021-08060-9

BACKGROUND: The outcome of cervical artificial insemination (AI) with frozen-thawed semen in sheep is limited by the inability of sperm to traverse the cervix of some ewe breeds. Previous research has demonstrated that cervical sperm transp…

Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.2711

Most psychiatric disorders are moderately to highly heritable. The degree to which genetic variation is unique to individual disorders or shared across disorders is unclear. To examine shared genetic etiology, we use genome-wide genotype da…
