RNA sequencing reveals candidate genes and polymorphisms related to sperm DNA integrity in testis tissue from boars

Abstract Background Sperm DNA is protected against fragmentation by a high degree of chromatin packaging. It has been demonstrated that proper chromatin packaging is important for boar fertility outcome. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying differences in sperm DNA frag...
