A systems biology framework integrating GWAS and RNA-seq to shed light on the molecular basis of sperm quality in swine

Abstract Background Genetic pressure in animal breeding is sparking the interest of breeders for selecting elite boars with higher sperm quality to optimize ejaculate doses and fertility rates. However, the molecular basis of sperm quality is not yet fully understood. Our aim was to identify candida...
