Abstract excerpt
Sperm-associated antigen 17 (SPAG17) gene encodes a central pair protein, which is involved in flagellar motility, male fertility and skeletal growth in ruminants. The insertions/deletions (indels) and copy number variations (CNVs) influence phenotypic traits by altering the sequences and copy numbers of functional genes, respectively. This study identified a novel 8-bp indel of SPAG17 gene in 1520 individuals...
