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 alleles1. Whereas crossovers in humans are well characterized2, the more frequent non-crossovers that lead to gene conversion remain challenging to study. Here we show that single high-fidelity long...
