The integration of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in reproductive research is gaining momentum, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of reproductive biology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Breeding Techniques:
Research focusing on conventional breeding methods has decreased as more emphasis is placed on advanced reproductive technologies and genetic approaches. - Invasive Surgical Techniques:
There has been a noticeable reduction in studies employing invasive surgical methods for reproductive interventions, likely due to the growing preference for non-invasive or less invasive techniques. - Basic Reproductive Anatomy Studies:
The exploration of basic reproductive anatomy has waned, as the field shifts towards more functional and molecular studies that provide insights into mechanisms rather than mere anatomical descriptions. - Studies on Non-Domestic Species:
While still present, research concerning the reproductive science of non-domestic or less commonly studied species has decreased in favor of more commercially relevant livestock and companion animals. - Historical Perspectives on Reproductive Technologies:
There has been a decline in publications that review historical technologies and methods in reproductive science, as the focus shifts towards cutting-edge advancements and current challenges.
