ABSTRACT:
Assays and kits for identifying fertile sperm samples (e.g. for use in an assisted reproductive technology or as an indication of an ineffective male contraception (vasectomy)) and sub-fertile sperm samples (e.g. as an indication of a potentially infertile male donor or an effective male contraception) are disclosed.
