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 ...

An Eco-Evolutionary approach of Adaptation and Recombination in a large population of varying size [PDF]
, 2014 We identify the genetic signature of a selective sweep in a population described by a birth-and-death process with density dependent competition. We study the limit behaviour for large K, where K scales the population size.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Characterizing meiotic recombination rates across the genomes of nonhuman primates is important for understanding the genetics of primate populations, performing genetic analyses of phenotypic variation and reconstructing the evolution of human ...

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.

Genetic Recombination and Molecular Evolution [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2009 Reduced rates of genetic recombination are often associated with reduced genetic variability and levels of adaptation. Several different evolutionary processes, collectively known as Hill-Robertson (HR) effects, have been proposed as causes of these correlates of recombination.

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

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

Recombination confounds the early evolutionary history of human immunodeficiency virus type 1: Subtype G is a circulating recombinant form [PDF]
, 2007 Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) is classified in nine subtypes (A to D, F, G, H, J, and K), a number of subsubtypes, and several circulating recombinant forms (CRFs).

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
