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...

So excited to finally share my recent work on sex differences in crossing over using mice from diverse genetic backgrounds!

Gorgeous structures!!! Congrats!

I know there is A LOT going on but just a heads up: TOMORROW, 9/3, is the last day to apply for a talk (or early poster) at #CellBio2025 in December!

There will be a #Meiosis4Eva: The Cell Biology of Reproduction
minisymposium on 12/7 at 10am. Please apply if you are interested in giving a talk! 🧪

I couldn’t be more proud of this tremendous work by Dr @awood2.bsky.social in my lab, co-led by myself and @idwolff.bsky.social. Anna worked tirelessly to conduct a comprehensive analysis of female meiosis, showing that CNTD1 plays role in crossover designation and checkpoint regulation in females.

Better late than never, congratulations to Dr Anna Wood (@awood2.bsky.social) for successful defending her thesis in my lab just 2 weeks ago with an incredible seminar and B exam! I could not be prouder of all that she has achieved during her time with us. Best of luck at Yale, Anna - you will soar!

One of the best to ever do it
