Gene sequencing and result analysis of balanced translocation carriers by third-generation gene sequencing technology

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Because the total gene copy number remains constant and all genes are normally expressed, carriers of balanced chromosomal translocations usually have a normal phenotype but are able to produce many different types of gametes during meiosis, and ...

Dnmt2 mediates intergenerational transmission of paternally acquired metabolic disorders through sperm small non-coding RNAs

open access: yesNature Cell Biology, 2018
The discovery of RNAs (for example, messenger RNAs, non-coding RNAs) in sperm has opened the possibility that sperm may function by delivering additional paternal information aside from solely providing the DNA1.

Does air pollution exposure affect semen quality? Evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis of 93,996 Chinese men

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2023
BackgroundAir pollution may impair male fertility, but it remains controversial whether air pollution affects semen quality until now.ObjectivesWe undertake a meta-analysis to explore potential impacts of six pollutants exposure during the entire window (

Sperm Sensory Signaling [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2017
Fertilization is exceptionally complex and, depending on the species, happens in entirely different environments. External fertilizers in aquatic habitats, like marine invertebrates or fish, release their gametes into the seawater or freshwater, whereas sperm from most internal fertilizers like mammals cross the female genital tract to make their way ...

“Seminal testosterone”, rising viewpoint of local spermatogenesis in nonobstructive azoospermia: One center long-term bidirectional cohort study

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
ObjectiveReproductive hormones are a traditional good method to evaluate spermatogenesis but might not accurately represent local spermatogenesis. To find a more accurate method, seminal reproductive hormones were studied.MethodsA bidirectional cohort ...

Evolution of sperm size in nematodes: sperm competition favours larger sperm [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999
In the free-living rhabditid nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, sperm size is a determinant of sperm competitiveness. Larger sperm crawl faster and physically displace smaller sperm to take fertilization priority, but not without a cost: larger sperm are produced at a slower rate. Here, we investigate the evolution of sperm size in the family Rhabditidae

Advances in Cryopreservation of Bull Sperm

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Cryopreservation of semen and artificial insemination have an important, positive impact on cattle production, and product quality. Through the use of cryopreserved semen and artificial insemination, sperm from the best breeding bulls can be used to ...

Male sperm whale acoustic behavior observed from multipaths at a single hydrophone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Sperm whales generate transient sounds (clicks) when foraging. These clicks have been described as echolocation sounds, a result of having measured the source level and the directionality of these signals and having extrapolated results from biosonar ...
