Abstract excerpt
A recessive sperm defect of Yorkshire boars was detected more than a decade ago. Affected boars produce ejaculates that contain spermatozoa with defective acrosomes, resulting in low fertility. The acrosome defect was mapped to porcine chromosome 15 but the causal mutation has not been identified. We re-analyzed microarray-derived genotypes of affected boars and confirmed that the acrosome defect maps to a...
