Comparison between known DEmiRNAs found in our study and in other studies. miRNAs were obtained from A) high and low motile fractions isolated from bovine cryopreserved semen, B) adult testis tissue from sheep well or under fed, C) human spermatozoa isolated from patients with normal or abnormal semen, D) human spermatozoa isolated from patients with normal semen or spermatogenic impairments, E) human spermatozoa isolated from patients with normal or vasectomized epididymis
