Recombination events in many organisms are concentrated in highly localized areas termed 'hot spots'. Hot spots can be detected by statistical analysis of genetic variation, analysis of pedigrees ...

Understanding the recombination process is also important in understanding how humans evolved as a species and what shapes individual differences, including health outcomes. All human genetic ...

While this shuffling, known as recombination, is essential for genetic diversity, errors in the process can lead to serious reproductive issues. These failures can result in genetic errors that ...

A high-quality genome assembly of Silene latifolia was generated by researchers at CNRS/Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and ...

While this shuffling, known as recombination, is essential for genetic diversity, errors in the process can lead to serious reproductive issues. These failures can result in genetic errors that ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Results from the company’s Talapro-2 trial saw a 38% reduction in the risk of death among HRR-mutated patients.

New research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination.
