Can We Simulate Meiosis to Create Digital Gametes — and Are the Results Your Biological Offspring?
Let’s imagine a world where reproduction has gone fully digital. We already know that a human genome can be sequenced, stored, and simulated. Given a phased genome (with parental haplotypes separated), it’s trivial to simulate meiosis computationally: apply a realistic recombination map, sample crossover points, recombine haplotypes — voilà, a...
