Abstract excerpt
Thanks to the analysis of an Interspecific Recombinant Congenic Strain (IRCS), we previously defined the Mafq1 quantitative trait locus as an interval on mouse Chromosome 1 associated with male hypofertility and ultrastructural abnormalities. We identified the Spermatogenesis associated protein 3 gene (Spata3 or Tsarg1) as a pertinent candidate within the Mafq1 locus and performed the CRISPR-Cas9 mediated...
