Out today in Nature: sex without crossovers.
Rhynchospora tenuis makes pollen, fertilises and sets seed, yet 0 crossovers in 10,997 pollen nuclei. Chromosome drive and ~87% seed abortion rebuild the mother's genotype, so the offspring are clones.
doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-1…
A new extreme of meiotic evolution:
✔️ no crossovers
✔️ no gene conversion
✔️ normal meiosis & fertility
Sex mimics clonality without becoming asexual, in the holocentric multicellular eukaryote 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘴.
