This study creates a single-cell RNA-seq atlas of bovine fetal ovarian development, identifying cell populations and developmental stages, and showing parallels with human fetal ovaries.

This study identifies the timing and location of bovine primordial germ cell specification and migration, revealing conserved molecular features across species.

This study derives primed bovine embryonic stem cell lines from early and full blastocysts with similar efficiency and molecular characteristics, showing they are indistinguishable and expanding available embryos for stem cell establishment.
