A research team led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has revealed how the genome is reorganized in 3D during male germ cell formation in vertebrates, leading to important new insights into how biodiversity is generated and maintained. The article, published in Nature Communications, analyzes species with a common origin dating back more than 350 million years.
