Abstract
Spermatogenesis is the developmental process that produces spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within C7H15orf39 and NOS2 genes and to determine the correlations between two SNPs and semen quality in Duroc boars (n = 604). The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) method was used for genotyping the selected two nonsynonymous SNPs. The significant correlation was observed between two SNPs (rs80969873: g.58385473 G > A within C7H15orf39; rs325865291: g.44175445 G > A within NOS2) and semen traits in Duroc boars. This study indicates the SNPs in C7H15orf39 and NOS2 may be the potential molecular marker for improving the semen quality traits in Duroc boars.
