Meiosis and Fat Burning
1:15:38 - 1:25:00 (09:21)
The crossover events during meiosis ensure that child cells have the energy to store or burn fat. As humans migrated north from Africa, they evolved to have the ability to store more energy as white fat or burn energy as beige fat to keep warm.

The genetic variants associated with schizophrenia all converge on the same biological pathway of calcium signaling proteins, impacting different parts of the genome but working together towards the same disorder.

Summary
The genetic variants associated with schizophrenia all converge on the same biological pathway of calcium signaling proteins, impacting different parts of the genome but working together towards the same disorder. Understanding these enhancers and pathways is crucial to fully comprehend the genetic basis of schizophrenia.

Summary
This podcast discusses how crossover events in meiosis ensure genetic diversity in offspring and how genetics play a role in determining whether energy is stored in white fat or burned in beige fat. It also examines how genetics and fat storage played a role in human evolution during migrations and ice ages.
