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. We show that, for finite times, recombination may maintain all the various potential different types, but when time grows infinitely, the diversity of ...

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

Mechanisms and impact of genetic recombination in the evolution of Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015 Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a highly recombinogenic bacterium responsible for a high burden of human disease globally. Genetic recombination, a process in which exogenous DNA is acquired and incorporated into its genome, is a key ...

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 ...

Genetic Recombination in Mycobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1973 Evidence for genetic recombination between Mycobacterium smegmatis strain Rabinowitchi (Rab) and strain Jucho or PM5 is presented. Backcrosses of recombinants by either parental strain indicated four different types of mating behavior, suggesting that the mycobacterial compatibilities are controlled by at least two ...

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 ...

Similarity in recombination rate estimates highly correlates with genetic differentiation in humans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Recombination varies greatly among species, as illustrated by the poor conservation of the recombination landscape between humans and chimpanzees. Thus, shorter evolutionary time frames are needed to understand the evolution of recombination.
