Single gamete cell sequencing together with long-read sequencing can reliably produce chromosome-level phased genomes. In this study, we employed PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing on a male Landrace pig, coupled with single-sperm sequencing of its 102 sperm cells. A haplotype assembly method was developed based on long-read sequencing and sperm-phased markers. The chromosome-level phased assembly showed higher phasing accuracy than methods that rely only on HiFi reads. The use of single-sperm sequencing data enabled the construction of a genetic map, successfully mapping the sperm motility trait to a specific region on chromosome 1 (105.40-110.70 Mb). Furthermore, with the assistance of Y chromosome-bearing sperm data, 26.16 Mb Y chromosome sequences were assembled. We report a reliable approach for assembling chromosome-level phased genomes and reveal the potential of sperm population in basic biology research and sperm phenotype research.

Given the high morbidity, mortality, and hereditary risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), their prevention and control have garnered widespread attention and remain central to clinical research. This study aims to assess the feasibility and necessity of haplotyping-based preimplantation genetic testing for the prevention of inherited CVD. A total of 15 preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic defect (PGT-M) cycles were performed in 12 CVD families from January 2016 to July 2022.

Article Synopsis
- * The analysis involved reviewing earlier data on the PAR boundary and using modern genomic datasets to look for evidence of crossing-over between the X and Y chromosomes.
- * The findings indicate significant crossing-over events very close to the old boundary, leading to a more precise identification of the PAR boundary within a 201-bp range.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the small RNA profiles in sperm to find unique miRNA patterns that may differentiate subfertile men from fertile men.
- Utilizing Small RNA next-generation sequencing, researchers analyzed sperm from fertile men and validated findings with additional samples from subfertile and fertile men.
- The results identified specific miRNAs with altered expressions in subfertile men, which correlate with key sperm characteristics, suggesting their potential use as biomarkers in fertility assessments.

Objective: To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of a male carrier of exceptional complex chromosome rearrangement (CCR) and the outcome of preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangement (PGT-SR).
Methods: Using the modified high resolution G banding technique and whole-genome low-coverage sequencing (WGLCS), we analyzed the cellular karyotype and molecular karyotype of a male carrier of CCR, performed an analysis of the single-sperm chromosome copy number and conducted PGT-SR for the patient by next-generation sequencing (NGS). In addition, we reviewed the literature on reported male carriers of CCRs and summarized their normal/balanced sperm ratios and PGT-SR outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the application value of single-sperm sequencing in resolving the carrier status of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for chromosomal structural rearrangements in Robertsonian translocations.
Methods: Haplotypes were constructed by single-sperm isolation combined with single-sperm sequencing for a patient with 45, XY, der(13; 14)(q10; q10). Twenty single-sperm samples were isolated by mechanical braking and subjected to whole-genome amplification (WGA), and then the Asian Screening Array (ASA) gene chip was used to detect the 183 708 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the WGA products.
