FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) assessment. For couples selecting for female sex, our processing method was able to yield an increased proportion of X-bearing spermatozoa (left). Similarly, our method yielded a greater proportion of Y-bearing spermatozoa for couples selecting for male sex (right).
