The sign cancellation between scattering amplitudes makes fermions different from bosons. We systematically investigate Feynman diagrams' fermionic sign structure in a representative many-fermion system---a uniform Fermi gas with Yukawa interaction. We analyze the role of the crossing symmetry and the global gauge symmetry in the fermionic sign cancellation. The symmetry arguments are then used to identify the sign-canceled groups of diagrams. Sign-structure analysis has two applications. Numerically, it leads to a cluster diagrammatic Monte Carlo algorithm for fast diagram evaluations. The new algorithm is about $10^5$ times faster than the conventional approaches in the sixth order. Furthermore, our analysis provides important hints in constructing the relevant effective field theory for many-fermion systems.
