TLDR
The hereby-validated ASMA was able to determine significant differences in sperm shape and dimensions among breeds, which were not accompanied by deviations in chromatin structure neither within nor between fertile AI-boars.About:

G. van der Horst,Liana Maree +1 more
TL;DR: Sperm of human, three monkey species, horse, boar, bull, ram, mouse, rat, domestic chicken, fish, and invertebrate species were stained successfully using the SpermBlue® staining process, which is simple and suitable for field conditions.

Computer assisted sperm morphometry in mammals: a review.
TL;DR: This review focuses on a complete description of the CASMA technique, including recent developments, factors of variation, results in the different species and possible applications, and how it may provide relevant information in studies focused on evolutionary biology, sperm formation, sperm quality assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of sperm morphology during sperm transport and fertilization in mammals.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the influence of sperm size and shape in evolution and their putative role in sperm transport and selection within the uterus and the ability to fertilize the oocyte.

Towards microfluidic sperm refinement: impedance-based analysis and sorting of sperm cells
B. de Wagenaar,S. Dekker,H.L. de Boer,Johan G. Bomer,Wouter Olthuis,A. van den Berg,Loes I. Segerink,Loes I. Segerink +7 more
TL;DR: This work aims to develop a microfluidic setup which is able to detect and sort morphologically normal sperm cells label-free and non-invasively, and developed a label- free cell sorting system using LabVIEW, which is capable of sorting sperm cells based on impedance.

Relation of mammalian sperm chromatin heterogeneity to fertility.
TL;DR: Flow cytometry of heated sperm nuclei revealed a significant decrease in resistance to in situ denaturation of spermatozoal DNA in samples from bulls, mice, and humans of low or questionable fertility when compared with others of high fertility.
