Many aspects of meiotic recombination, such as its initiation via Spo11-generated DSBS, are highly conserved throughout evolution. We are examining the mechanisms that control the distribution of ...

Unlike its DNA repair role in somatic cells, homologous recombination has a distinct role in meiosis in ensuring proper chromosome segregation. In yeast, an early step of the meiotic program is the ...

Genetic recombination is the transmission-genetic process by which the combinations of alleles observed at different loci in two parental individuals become shuffled in offspring individuals. In ...

The Association for Molecular Pathology announced the publication of best practice recommendations for clinical laboratories developing and performing homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing ...

Knowing when recombination occurs is crucial for understanding the evolutionary lineage of a sequence of the virus. Recombination can complicate the process of tracing back the phylogenetic tree of a ...

Recombination, in contrast, is rife in coronaviruses. Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center led by virologist Mark Denison recently studied how things go awry during replication in ...

Iron is one of the most abundant heavy elements in the universe. Its spectral features stand out in many astronomical spectra ...

Researchers led by the University of Rochester claim to have increased the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite for solar cell applications by 250%. They created a perovskite film with a ...

Five is a crowd Physicists have shown how interactions between five atoms can create a tetramer and a single free atom. (Courtesy: Shutterstock) Five-body recombination, in which five identical atoms ...
