Silent cells? Potential for context-dependent gene expression in mature sperm | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Sperm are traditionally viewed as transcriptionally and translationally silent cells.
However, observations that components of the cellular machinery of gene expression
are maintained in ejaculated sp...
