Evolutionary analysis of genes coding for Cysteine-RIch Secretory Proteins (CRISPs) in mammals

Abstract Background Cysteine-RIch Secretory Proteins (CRISP) are expressed in the reproductive tract of mammalian males and are involved in fertilization and related processes. Due to their important role in sperm performance and sperm-egg interaction, these genes are likely to be exposed to strong...
