The paper uses single-cell proteomics to show that advanced maternal age oocytes have reduced proteostasis and meiosis proteins.

The paper shows that the human sperm basal body converts to a centrosome after fertilization, supporting early embryogenesis and compaction.

This study analyzes the transcriptomes of human oocytes at different maturation stages and finds that age affects specific gene pathways in matured oocytes.

The paper evaluates the reliability of self-reported ethnicity versus genetic ancestry in carrier screening and finds discrepancies that affect carrier risk estimation.
