Unraveling the mystery of genetics and male infertility

摘要

Taking 13 years to complete, the Human Genome Project sequenced the entire euchromatic human genome. The accomplishment was hoped to offer solutions to many of man’s most befuddling medical conditions, male infertility a prime example. What was discovered, however, was the tip of the iceberg. The sequence of base pairs only begins to shed light on the complex interplay between pre-translational, translational, and related factors that determine fertility potential.
