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

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,

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 correlates of recombination.

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.

Genetic variation in recombination rate in the pig
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Background Meiotic recombination results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Recombination rate varies between different parts of the genome, between individuals, and is influenced by genetics.

Mapping of meiotic recombination in human preimplantation blastocysts
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Recombination is essential for physical attachments and genetic diversity. The Han Chinese population is the largest ethnic group worldwide, therefore, the construction of a genetic map regarding recombination for the population is essential.

Targeted recombination of homologous chromosomes using CRISPR‐Cas9
FEBS Open Bio, 2023 CRISPR mutagenesis is an efficient way to disrupt specific target genes in many model organisms. We previously devised a targeted CRISPR recombination method to generate intragenic recombinants of alleles in Drosophila.
