    SSNIP-seq: A simple and rapid method for isolation of single-sperm nucleic acid for high-throughput sequencing
    Novakovic, S ; Tsui, V ; Semple, T ; Martelotto, L ; McCarthy, DJ ; Crismani, W ; Drevet, JR (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2022-09-29)
    We developed a simple and reliable method for the isolation of haploid nuclei from fresh and frozen testes. The described protocol uses readily available reagents in combination with flow cytometry to separate haploid and diploid nuclei. The protocol can be completed within 1 hour and the resulting individual haploid nuclei have intact morphology. The isolated nuclei are suitable for library preparation for high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing using bulk or single nuclei. The protocol was optimised with mouse testes and we anticipate that it can be applied for the isolation of mature sperm from other mammals including humans.
