Diversity Outbred (DO) mice were assessed in this project. See Shorter4 for the same assessments in DO founder strains (aka Collaborative Cross founder strains).

Procedures conducted:
• body weight 
• organ weights  Male reproductive organ weights. Testes, seminal vesicles, epididymis + vas deferens.
• sperm count  Sperm count. Hemocytometer.
• microscopy  Sperm motility
• histopathology  Male reproductive histopathology. Percent normal, abnormal sperm.
