Chromosome length is not the sole determinant of sexually dimorphic crossover rates during mammalian meiosis: Insights from genetically diverse mouse strains
Meiotic recombination generates crossovers (COs), reciprocal exchanges between homologous chromosomes critical for accurate chromosome segregation. Inappropriate CO frequency and distribution drive an...
