Cryopreservation of bovine sperm causes single-strand DNA breaks that are localized in the toroidal regions of chromatin
Cryopreservation of bovine sperm generates single-strand DNA breaks, which are mainly located in protamine-condensed toroidal regions. The incidence of DNA breaks in cryopreserved sperm has an impact on cattle fertility, regardless of the size of generated fragments.
