What can bulls tell us about men? Genetic discovery could translate to human fertility research

Infertility is a widespread problem: worldwide, one in eight couples fail to fulfill their desire to have children within a year—or even at all. In half the cases, this is due to fertility disorders that stem from the male. However, it is difficult to identify the genetic causes of such fertility disorders in humans. Researchers lack data on the quality of semen and on molecular markers from sufficiently large cohorts of healthy men of reproductive age.
