The genetic basis and fitness consequences of sperm midpiece size in deer mice
Across species there are large changes in sperm morphology, yet how and why is unclear. Here, the authors show in Peromyscus mice, that the sperm midpiece length influences swimming speed and male fertility, and is regulated by cell-type specific expression of a ubiquitously expressed gene, Prkar1a.
