Abstract excerpt
The Deleted in AZoospermia Like (DAZL) gene is a member of the DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) gene family which are critical for successful germ cell development in diverse animals. In previous research, we discovered two SNPs (DAZL c.570+385 A>G, DAZL c.735+150 C>A) associated with litter size traits in sows. Here we selected DAZL gene as a candidate gene for boar sperm quality traits based on its function on the...
