Deep learning-based selection of human sperm with high DNA integrity

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Despite the importance of sperm DNA to human reproduction, currently no method exists to assess individual sperm DNA quality prior to clinical selection. Traditionally, skilled clinicians select sperm based on a variety of morphological and motility criteria, but without direct knowledge of their DNA cargo. Here, we show how a deep convolutional neural network can be trained on a collection of ~1000...
