How mammalian genomes are packaged and the heritability of structural variations in genome folding is incomplete. Here, the authors investigate the impact of chromosomal fusions on three-dimensional genome topology and meiotic recombination, highlighting the implications of large-scale genome reorganizations on genome function, evolution, and fertility.
