Levels of DNA accessibility in human sperm vary across individuals with differing reproductive parameters
2024-06-27
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian sperm DNA is packaged in a much denser form than in somatic cells, protecting the DNA from damage and reducing the size of the nucleus to improve passage towards the oocyte. While defective sperm DNA packaging correlates with reduced fertilization rates and impaired pre-implantation embryonic development, these defects are not currently examined in standard semen analysis. Here, we adapted NicE-view, an...
