| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the assisted reproductive technology (ART), the identification method for “good” sperm has been needed. The morphological standard is not necessarily sufficient to identify the genetic and epigenetic integrity of the sperm genome. Here we apply the newly developed method that identify the methylcytosine, hydroxymethylcytosine and non-modified cytosine simultaneously to the single sperm. After the requirement study, we have successfully apply this method for the L1 repetitive sequence analysis for cytosine modification.
