Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci

…, J Suvisaari, DM Svrakic, JP Szatkiewicz… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com

Crossover interference underlies sex differences in recombination rates

PM Petkov, KW Broman, JP Szatkiewicz, K Paigen - Trends in Genetics, 2007 - cell.com
In many organisms, recombination rates differ between the two sexes. Here we show that in
mice, this is because of a shorter genomic interference distance in females than in males, …
