Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to screen the whole bull genome to identify markers and candidate genes underlying poor sperm motility. The analyzed data set originates from the Polish Holstein-Friesian bull population and consists of 41 Case and 279 Control bulls (selected from 1581 bulls). The most distinguishing trait of case group was very poor sperm motility (average 25.61%) when compared to control samples...
