Transcriptome profiling of porcine testis tissue reveals genes related to sperm hyperactive motility

Abstract Background Sperm hyperactive motility has previously been shown to influence litter size in pigs, but little is known about the underlying biological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to use RNA sequencing to investigate gene expression differences in testis tissue from Landrace and Dur...
