| Abstract |
As representatives of the 60 trillion cells that make a human body, a sperm and an egg meet, recognize each other, and fuse to create a new generation. Thus, gamete fusion is an extremely important process that must transpire without error to launch life activity. This may drive the fusion mechanism to evolve into an unfailing and steady process. At the same time, fusion must be restricted to occur only between two gametes of the same species. However, the molecular bases of the fusion event in fertilization have not yet been clarified. In this chapter, we describe the methods to evaluate fusion by staining the swollen sperm nuclei after fertilization. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 May 2021.
All research outputs
#4,513,789
of 24,625,114 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#1,170
of 13,857 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,582
of 164,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#17
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,625,114 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,857 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 164,941 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
