Endurance training remodels sperm-borne small RNA expression and methylation at neurological gene hotspots

Abstract Remodeling of the sperm epigenome by lifestyle factors before conception could account for altered metabolism in the next generation offspring. Here, we hypothesized that endurance training changes the epigenome of human spermatozoa. Using small RNA (sRNA) sequencing and reduced representat...
