Chromosomal rearrangements have a crucial impact on the proper proceedings of meiosis and can lead by several mechanisms to the production of unbalanced gametes or to the complete arrest of gametes production. To assess the impact of these rearrangement in the early development of pig germ cells, we proposed to generate a library of stem cells from an azoospermic boar carrying a reciprocal translocation t(Y:14), as a new tool for the development of an in vitro differe...
