Spermatozoal RNA profiles of normal fertile men

Findings from several studies support the conclusion that spermatozoa contain a complex repertoire of mRNAs. Even though these mRNAs are thought to provide an insight into past events of spermatogenesis, their complexity and function have yet to be established. Investigates whether spermatozoal mRNA...

Description
Summary:Findings from several studies support the conclusion that spermatozoa contain a complex repertoire of mRNAs. Even though these mRNAs are thought to provide an insight into past events of spermatogenesis, their complexity and function have yet to be established. Investigates whether spermatozoal mRNAs can be used to generate a genetic fingerprint of normal fertile men. (Original abstract - amended)
