Abstract
Controlling the sex-type of the sperm that is to participate in fertilization, can he an effective approach for sex-selection thereby an approach to improve
farm animal economies. The commercial gender selection method uses flow cytometry and is patent protected and necessitates exploration of an alternative
methodology. In this context aptamers are novel class of molecules equivalent to
antibodies which help in identifying minor phenotype differences between an X-
and Y-sperm and enable the capturing and separation of the two populations.
