Within-ejaculate sperm selection in humans acts against molecular signatures of age-related disease
2024-10-09
Abstract excerpt
The germline is widely regarded as a checkpoint against the inheritance of damaged genomes, yet the mechanisms that could enact such filtering remain poorly resolved. Of the millions of sperm in a human ejaculate, only one fertilises the egg, creating a strong opportunity for selection among gametes. Combining within-ejaculate selection on sperm quality with whole-genome sequencing and proteomics in healthy donors...
