Determination of double- and single-stranded DNA breaks in bovine sperm is predictive of their fertilizing capacity

Determination of double- and single-stranded DNA breaks in bovine sperm is predictive of their fertilizing capacity

Abstract Background The analysis of chromatin integrity has become an important determinant of sperm quality. In frozen-thawed bovine sperm, neither the sequence of post-thaw injury events nor the dynamics of different types of sperm DNA breaks are well understood. The aim of the present work was to...
