The molecular evolution of spermatogenesis across mammals
2021-11-08
Abstract excerpt
The testis is a key male reproductive organ that produces gametes through the process of spermatogenesis. Testis morphologies and spermatogenesis evolve rapidly in mammals, presumably due to the evolutionary pressure on males to be reproductively successful 1,2 . The rapid evolution of the testis was shown to be reflected at the molecular level based on bulk-tissue work 3-8 , but the molecular evolution of indiv...
