Abstract excerpt
The down syndrome cell adhesion molecule like 1 (DSCAML1), is associated with the development of the nervous system and neurologic diseases. Previous Genome-wide association studies have shown that it is associated with sperm morphology, suggesting it has a critical role in fecundity. In this study, expression profiles of goat DSCAML1 mRNA were analyzed. The results showed that its expression in the testis differ...
