Pre-screening method for somatic cell contamination in human sperm epigenetic studies

4 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

Sperm epigenetic profiles are frequently studied and are of great interest in many fields. One major technical concern when assessing these marks is the potential for somatic cell contamination. Because somatic cells have dramatically different epigenetic signatures, even small levels of contamination can result in significant problems in analysis and interpretation of data. In this study we evaluate an assay,...
