Meiotic recombination is a genetic process that is critical for proper chromosome segregation in many organisms. Despite being fundamental for organismal fitness, rates of crossing over vary greatly between taxa.

GENETIC FACTORS INFLUENCING CROSSING-OVER FREQUENCY IN NEUROSPORA [PDF]
DIFFERENT crosses involving the same marked region in Neurospora crassa may yield markedly different frequencies of recombinants. It has been suggested that the fluctuations in recombination frequency result from inherent differences between the various wild-type strains from which the stocks descended (BARRATT 1954; FROST 1961). However, the nature of

Genetic variability in soybean with resistance to cyst nematode and powdery mildew: impact of multi-parent crosses on recombination and genetic diversity [PDF]
The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic variability generated from two-way, four-way, and eight-way hybridizations in soybean, derived from parental lines contrasting in resistance to cyst nematode and powdery mildew.

An Ultra-High-Density, Transcript-Based, Genetic Map of Lettuce. [PDF]
We have generated an ultra-high-density genetic map for lettuce, an economically important member of the Compositae, consisting of 12,842 unigenes (13,943 markers) mapped in 3696 genetic bins distributed over nine chromosomal linkage groups.

Comparative gene mapping in Arabidopsis lyrata chromosomes 1 and 2 and the corresponding A. thaliana chromosome 1: recombination rates, rearrangements and centromere location [PDF]
To add detail to the genetic map of Arabidopsis lyrata, and compare it with that of A. thaliana, we have developed many additional markers in the A. lyrata linkage groups, LG1 and LG2, corresponding to A. thaliana chromosome 1.

Natural genetic transformation generates a population of merodiploids in Streptococcus pneumoniae. [PDF]
Partial duplication of genetic material is prevalent in eukaryotes and provides potential for evolution of new traits. Prokaryotes, which are generally haploid in nature, can evolve new genes by partial chromosome duplication, known as merodiploidy ...

Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]
Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.
