Using publicly available transcriptomic data to identify mechanistic and diagnostic biomarkers in azoospermia and overall male infertility
Azoospermia, which is the absence of spermatozoa in an ejaculate occurring due to defects

The G2-to-M transition is ensured by a dual mechanism that protects cyclin B from degradation by Cdc20-activated APC/C
In the eukaryotic cell cycle, a threshold level of cyclin B accumulation triggers the G2-to-M
transition, and subsequent cyclin B destruction triggers mitotic exit. The anaphase-promoting …
