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 ...

Genetic analysis of genome-scale recombination rate evolution in house mice. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 The rate of meiotic recombination varies markedly between species and among individuals. Classical genetic experiments demonstrated a heritable component to population variation in recombination rate, and specific sequence variants that contribute to ...

Variation and genetic control of individual recombination rates in Norwegian Red dairy cattle
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : Meiotic recombination is an important evolutionary mechanism that breaks up linkages between loci and creates novel haplotypes for selection to act upon.

Genetic variants in REC8, RNF212, and PRDM9 influence male recombination in cattle. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 We use >250,000 cross-over events identified in >10,000 bovine sperm cells to perform an extensive characterization of meiotic recombination in male cattle.

Genetic analysis of variation in human meiotic recombination.
PLoS Genetics, 2009 The number of recombination events per meiosis varies extensively among individuals. This recombination phenotype differs between female and male, and also among individuals of each gender.

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

The influence of recombination on human genetic diversity. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 In humans, the rate of recombination, as measured on the megabase scale, is positively associated with the level of genetic variation, as measured at the genic scale.

Influence of geography, seasonality and experimental selection on Chironomus riparius recombination rates [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Understanding recombination rates is crucial in evolutionary biology, as recombination shapes genetic diversity, natural selection, and adaptation. We investigated recombination rate variation in Chironomus riparius across different latitudes,

Effect of recombination on genetic diversity of Caenorhabditis elegans
Scientific Reports, 2023 Greater molecular divergence and genetic diversity are present in regions of high recombination in many species. Studies describing the correlation between variant abundance and recombination rate have long focused on recombination in the context of ...
