Detection of one large insertion/deletion (indel) and two novel SNPs within the <i>SPEF2</i> gene and their associations with male piglet reproduction traits

The sperm flagella 2 (<i>SPEF2</i>) gene is essential for normal sperm tail development and male fertility. To fully characterize the structure of the mutation and to further study the function of the pig <i>SPEF2</i> gene, we explored the insertion/deletion (indel) and novel...
