Abstract excerpt
The testis is an important organ for maintaining fertility in males, and testis size is positively correlated with ejaculate volume, sperm motility, thus fertility. Spermatogenesis-associated 6 (SPATA6) is an evolutionarily conserved testis-specific gene reported in many species. However, the effect of SPATA6 expression levels on testicular development and the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on...
