Genetic variants in REC8, RNF212, and PRDM9 influence male recombination in cattle. [PDF]
We use >250,000 cross-over events identified in >10,000 bovine sperm cells to perform an extensive characterization of meiotic recombination in male cattle.

SUMOylation of Rad52-Rad59 synergistically change the outcome of mitotic recombination [PDF]
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.

Recombination and Genetic Diversity
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
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.

Variation and genetic control of individual recombination rates in Norwegian Red dairy cattle
: Meiotic recombination is an important evolutionary mechanism that breaks up linkages between loci and creates novel haplotypes for selection to act upon.

The effects of recombination rate on the distribution and abundance of transposable elements [PDF]
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]
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.
