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.

SUMOylation of Rad52-Rad59 synergistically change the outcome of mitotic recombination [PDF]
, 2016 Homologous recombination (HR) is essential for maintenance of genome stability through double-strand break (DSB) repair, but at the same time HR can lead to loss of heterozygosity and uncontrolled recombination can be genotoxic.

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.

sequenceLDhot: Detecting Recombination Hotspots. [PDF]
, 2006 Motivation: There is much local variation in recombination rates across the human genome—with the majority of recombination occuring in recombination hotspots—short regions of around ~2 kb in length that have much higher recombination rates than ...

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.

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.

Organellar inheritance in the green lineage: insights from Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]
, 2013 Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain.
