The Genetic Architecture of Natural Variation in Recombination Rate in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Meiotic recombination ensures proper chromosome segregation in many sexually reproducing organisms. Despite this crucial function, rates of recombination are highly variable within and between taxa, and the genetic basis of this variation remains poorly ...

Recombination and Genetic Diversity
Trends in Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2012 In this paper we present a spatial stochastic model for genetic recombination, that answers if diversity is preserved in an infinite population of recombinating individuals distributed spatially.

Novel canine circovirus strains from Thailand: Evidence for genetic recombination. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Canine circoviruses (CanineCV’s), belonging to the genus Circovirus of the Circoviridae family, were detected by next generation sequencing in samples from Thai dogs with respiratory symptoms.

Extensive sex differences at the initiation of genetic recombination. [PDF]
Nature, 2018 Meiotic recombination differs between males and females; however, when and how these differences are established is unknown. Here we identify extensive sex differences at the initiation of recombination by mapping hotspots of meiotic DNA double-strand ...

No detectable signal for ongoing genetic recombination in SARS-CoV-2
bioRxiv, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented global sequencing effort of its viral agent SARS-CoV-2. The first whole genome assembly of SARS-CoV-2 was published on January 5 2020.

The Contribution of Genetic Recombination to CRISPR Array Evolution. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2015 CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a microbial immune system against foreign DNA. Recognition sequences (spacers) encoded within the CRISPR array mediate the immune reaction in a sequence-specific manner.

Genetic recombination and molecular evolution. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2009 Reduced rates of genetic recombination are often associated with reduced genetic variability and levels of adaptation. Several different evolutionary processes, collectively known as Hill-Robertson (HR) effects, have been proposed as causes of these ...

Genetic recombination-mediated evolutionary interactions between phages of potential industrial importance and prophages of their hosts within or across the domains of Escherichia, Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Staphylococcus [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground The in-depth understanding of the role of lateral genetic transfer (LGT) in phage-prophage interactions is essential to rationalizing phage applications for human and animal therapy, as well as for food and environmental safety. This in silico
