The effects of recombination rate on the distribution and abundance of transposable elements [PDF]
, 2008 Transposable elements (TEs) often accumulate in regions of the genome with suppressed recombination. But it is unclear whether this pattern reflects a reduction in the efficacy of selection against deleterious insertions or a relaxation of ectopic ...

Multilocus sequence analysis of xanthomonads causing bacterial spot of tomato and pepper plants reveals strains generated by recombination among species and recent global spread of Xanthomonas gardneri [PDF]
, 2015 Four Xanthomonas species are known to cause bacterial spot of tomato and pepper, but the global distribution and genetic diversity of these species are not well understood.

Clonality despite sex: the evolution of host-associated sexual neighborhoods in the pathogenic fungus Penicillium marneffei. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Molecular genetic approaches typically detect recombination in microbes regardless of assumed asexuality. However, genetic data have shown the AIDS-associated pathogen Penicillium marneffei to have extensive spatial genetic structure at local and ...

Genetic Engineering by DNA Recombineering
Current Protocols in Chemical Biology, 2019 AbstractRecombineering inserts PCR products into DNA using homologous recombination. A pair of short homology arms (50 base pairs) on the ends of a PCR cassette target the cassette to its intended location. These homology arms can be easily introduced as 5′ primer overhangs during the PCR reaction.

Interactions between BRCA2 and RAD51 for promoting homologous recombination in Leishmania infantum. [PDF]
, 2012 In most organisms, the primary function of homologous recombination (HR) is to allow genome protection by the faithful repair of DNA double-strand breaks.

Genetic recombination in Nocardia asteroides [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 Gene recombination between strains of Nocardia asteroides of diverse origins has been demonstrated. In particular pairwise combinations, recombinants made up 0.01% of the population. All nine selectable recombinant classes were recovered from a cross KK4-47 his-10 leu-1 and KK6-119 met-3 phe-3.

Random-sequence genetic oligomer pools display an innate potential for ligation and recombination
eLife, 2018 Recombination, the exchange of information between different genetic polymer strands, is of fundamental importance in biology for genome maintenance and genetic diversification and is mediated by dedicated recombinase enzymes. Here, we describe an innate

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 ...
