Figures & data
Figure 1. Randomly assayed human ejaculates demonstrate a high level of variability in percentage of Y bearing chromosome
The black dots represent the percent of Y chromosome bearing sperm as determined by a 2−ΔΔCt qPCR quantification method. Overall, the 50 randomly selected participants displayed a high level of variability from the mean. The thick black line represents the mean percentage (45.58 ± 2.87). Additionally, samples displaying the highest deviation from the mean were repeated to ensure accuracy. All samples were performed in triplicate and data was analyzed utilizing Thermo Fisher’s Viia7 Real-Time PCR instrument and Microsoft Excel.
