Haploid transcripts persist in mature human spermatozoa

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian spermiogenesis is marked by the morphological and functional differentiation of round haploid spermatids into mature spermatozoa. A molecular restructuring of the chromatin accompanies this process facilitated by the transition proteins and protamines which compact and condense the genetic material within the developing spermatid. Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that human...
