[HTML][HTML] Genes underlying the evolution of tetrapod testes size
J Baker, A Meade, C Venditti - BMC biology, 2021 - Springer
Background Testes vary widely in mass relative to body mass across species, but we know
very little about which genes underlie and contribute to such variation. This is partly because …
