    🧬 New recombination review 🧬
    Genetic variation is essential for evolution. So what do we know about genetic variation underlying recombination rates & distribution? I've written a perspective for MBE on why its important, what we have learned, & open questions for the future.

    New lab preprint: GWAS on crossover dynamics in pigs led by Cathrine Brekke. We explored individual variation in rate, positioning and interference and found a few significant loci in females🐷:

    📈👯‍♀️ Rate & interference associated with RNF212 (+ small rate effects at CTCF & REC114/REC8/CCNB1IP1)

    📌 Broad-scale positioning at MEI4, SYCP2, PRDM9 (+ small effects at ZCWPW1 & ZCWPW2)

    #Introduction post: I'm an associate professor of #biology at #KyotoUniversity in Japan, studying #chromosome dynamics during #meiosis in #nematodes especially #Caenorhabditis_elegans. I enjoy #naturalphilosophy, #philosophyofmind, #chess, #linux, and Japanese calligraphy (#書道).

    Here are the chromosomes I study — the maternally- and paternally-derived chromosomes have paired along their lengths and are now undergoing recombination. #meiosis4eva
