Long-read sequencing reveals pre-meiotic gene conversion in sperm.

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental process that generates genetic diversity by creating new combinations of existing alleles 1 .

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental process that generates genetic diversity by creating new combinations of existing alleles 1 . Whereas crossovers in humans are well characterized 2 , the more frequent non-crossovers that lead to gene conversion remain challenging to study.…
