Short summary
Allele "D" (deletion) within the insertion/deletion of SPEF2 gene was dominant in male Large White and Landrace pigs from China. In addition, two novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms of this gene were first identified in pigs. NC_010458:g.19886C > G was significantly associated with testis long circumference (P < 0.05). These findings could not only extend the spectrum of genetic variations of pig SPEF2 gene but also contribute to implementing MAS in pigs.
