Male

The small RNA content of human sperm reveals pseudogene-derived piRNAs complementary to protein-coding genes.

At the end of mammalian sperm development, sperm cells expel most of their cytoplasm and dispose of the majority of their RNA. Yet, hundreds of RNA molecules remain in mature sperm. The biological significance of the vast majority of these molecules …

Paternal Diet Defines Offspring Chromatin State and Intergenerational Obesity

The global rise in obesity has revitalized a search for genetic and epigenetic factors underlying the disease. We present a Drosophila model of paternal-diet-induced intergenerational metabolic reprogramming (IGMR) and identify genes required for its …
