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

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.

Competition between recombination and epistasis can cause a transition from allele to genotype selection [PDF]
, 2009 Biochemical and regulatory interactions central to biological networks are expected to cause extensive genetic interactions or epistasis affecting the heritability of complex traits and the distribution of genotypes in populations. However, the inference

Complete genome sequences of two feline Leukemia virus subgroup B isolates with novel recombination sites [PDF]
, 2013 It is generally accepted that all primary isolates of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) contain a subgroup A virus (FeLV-A) that is essential for transmission.

The asexual genome of Drosophila
, 2017 The rate of recombination affects the mode of molecular evolution. In high-recombining sequence, the targets of selection are individual genetic loci; under low recombination, selection collectively acts on large, genetically linked genomic segments ...

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

Making serine integrases work for us [PDF]
, 2017 DNA site-specific recombinases are enzymes (often associated with mobile DNA elements) that catalyse breaking and rejoining of DNA strands at specific points, thereby bringing about precise genetic rearrangements.

Identification and manipulation of the molecular determinants influencing poliovirus recombination.
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 The control and prevention of communicable disease is directly impacted by the genetic mutability of the underlying etiological agents. In the case of RNA viruses, genetic recombination may impact public health by facilitating the generation of new viral

mSphere, 2020 Illness caused by the pathogen Clostridioides difficile is widespread and can range in severity from mild diarrhea to sepsis and death. Strains of C. difficile isolated from human infections exhibit great genetic diversity, leading to the hypothesis that
