Activation of cryptic splicing in bovine WDR19 is associated with reduced semen quality and male fertility.

Activation of cryptic splicing in bovine WDR19 is associated with reduced semen quality and male fertility.

Cattle are ideally suited to investigate the genetics of male reproduction, because semen quality and fertility are recorded for all ejaculates of artificial insemination bulls. We analysed 26,090 ejaculates of 794 Brown Swiss bulls to assess ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, sp...
