Gene expression profiles in testis of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone

BACKGROUND: Boar taint is a major obstacle when using uncastrated male pigs for swine production. One of the main compounds causing this taint is androstenone, a pheromone produced in porcine testis. Here we use microarrays to study the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously in testis of hi...
