This volume presents a comprehensive collection of research methods at the cellular, molecular, and biochemical level to understand sperm production and function. Exploring spermatogenesis and testis biology, the book delves into epigenomics and transcriptomics, spermatogenic cell separation, identification of cell types and stages, and more. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Spermatogenesis: Methods and Protocols serves as an excellent reference for basic applied researchers in the field of spermatogenesis and male fertility working with laboratory models as well as domestic animals.
