Sperm chromatin structure: Insights from in vitro to in situ experiments
25 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
The sperm genome is tightly packed into a minimal volume of sperm nuclei. Sperm chromatin is highly condensed by protamines (PRMs) after histone-protamine replacement, and the majority of the sperm genome forms a nucleo-protamine structure, namely, the PRM-DNA complex. The outline of sperm chromatin structure was proposed 30 years ago, and the details have been explored by approaches from several independent...
