Transcriptional activation of the CXCL gene family locus in mature human sperm in the presence of female-derived reproductive fluid
Abstract Mature sperm are widely considered as transcriptionally inactive cells owing to the tight compaction of their chromatin with protamine. However, sperm cells have been demonstrated to retain RNA polymerase subunits, chromatin remodellers, transcription factors, and parts of their chromatin remain in a less cond...
