Asthenozoospermia, characterized by reduced sperm motility, is a major contributor to male infertility and motivates improved resources for studying spermatogenesis at the genomic level. Here, we present a paired whole-genome sequencing (WGS) dataset from 53 Han Chinese men, comprising matched blood WGS per participant (target ~10×) and 3-5 low-coverage single-sperm WGS libraries per participant (target ~1×). The dataset includes 263 single-sperm libraries (79 from 16 asthenozoospermic participants and 184 from 37 normozoospermic participants) and is accompanied by rich participant-level metadata, including baseline characteristics, endocrine measurements, and semen parameters such as sperm motility and vitality. Raw reads underwent standardized quality-control filtering, and key sequencing metrics (Q20 and GC content) met commonly used thresholds; the achieved mean depth was approximately 10× for blood and ~1.7× for single sperm. By integrating sperm motility/vitality phenotypes with individual-matched genomic information, this resource provides a foundation for male reproductive genomics and for developing and benchmarking algorithms for gamete-genome dissection, and may support future translational research on male infertility evaluation.
