Three interesting studies of genetic variation

I haven’t had much time for blogging these days, but I wanted to highlight three cool studies that came out recently, studying the genetics of meiosis, Epstein-Barr virus, and lifespan.Genetics of meiosis fidelityCommon variation in meiosis genes shapes human recombination and aneuploidy (Carioscia et al., Nature 2026). This study looked at data from an embryo testing company, Natera,1 which used SNP microarrays to determine embryo genotype and chromosome copy number. The researchers also obtain...
