Genetic Recombination in Micromonospora [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1971 Biochemical mutants were obtained from Micromonospora chalcea, M. purpurea , and M. echinospora by using ultraviolet radiation or nitrosoguanidine. Crosses carried out between complementary nutritional mutants of the same species showed positive genetic interaction.

The Landscape of Realized Homologous Recombination in Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]
, 2015 Recombination enhances the adaptive potential of organisms by allowing genetic variants to be tested on multiple genomic backgrounds. Its distribution in the genome can provide insight into the evolutionary forces that underlie traits, such as the ...

Genetic Recombination Is Targeted towards Gene Promoter Regions in Dogs [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The identification of the H3K4 trimethylase, PRDM9, as the gene responsible for recombination hotspot localization has provided considerable insight into the mechanisms by which recombination is initiated in mammals.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Meiotic recombination generates genetic diversity but in most species the number of crossovers per meiosis is limited. Previous modeling studies showed that increasing recombination can enhance response to selection.

Genetic Recombination between Human and Animal Parasites Creates Novel Strains of Human Pathogen
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Genetic recombination between pathogens derived from humans and livestock has the potential to create novel pathogen strains, highlighted by the influenza pandemic H1N1/09, which was derived from a re-assortment of swine, avian and human influenza A ...

Multiple mating but not recombination causes quantitative increase in offspring genetic diversity for varying genetic architectures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Explaining the evolution of sex and recombination is particularly intriguing for some species of eusocial insects because they display exceptionally high mating frequencies and genomic recombination rates. Explanations for both phenomena are based on the

Genetic Recombination in Caulobacter [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1972 SUMMARY: Auxotrophic, phage-resistant and streptomycin-resistant mutants of Caulobacter were used to demonstrate genetic recombination in this genus. Forty of a possible 170 mating pairs gave recombinant frequencies of from 100 to 1000 times greater than reversion frequencies for the markers used.
