() encodes a histone demethylase, which can influence the androgen signaling as well as play an essential role in spermatogenesis. Recently a study has shown that the mRNA of is the key to the successful clone of the Macaque monkeys named as "Zhongzhong" and "Huahua," which greatly increased pregnancy rates of female monkey, suggesting that the gene may be strongly associated with reproduction. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore possible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the coding region of gene and analyze the associations with testis morphology traits of male pigs.
