Re-evaluating the Localization of Sperm-Retained Histones Revealed the Modification-Dependent Accumulation in Specific Genome Regions

Summary: The question of whether retained histones in the sperm genome localize to gene-coding regions or gene deserts has been debated for years. Previous contradictory observations are likely caused by the non-uniform sensitivity of sperm chromatin to micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion. Sperm...
