Recombination, the exchange of DNA between maternal and paternal chromosomes during
meiosis, is an essential feature of sexual reproduction in nearly all multicellular organisms …

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexually reproducing species. It is often
required for proper chromosome segregation and plays important role in adaptation and the …

Meiosis halves diploid chromosome numbers to haploid levels that are essential for sexual
reproduction in most eukaryotes. Meiotic recombination ensures the formation of bivalents …

Recombination is a central biological process with implications for many areas in the life
sciences. Yet we are only beginning to appreciate variation in the recombination rate along …

Meiosis is a specialized cell division, essential in most reproducing organisms to halve the
number of chromosomes, thereby enabling the restoration of ploidy levels during …

Meiosis is a key event of sexual life cycles in eukaryotes. Its mechanistic details have been
uncovered in several model organisms, and most of its essential features have received …

Understanding the genetic architecture (causal molecular variants, their effects, and
frequencies) of quantitative traits is important for precision agriculture and medicine and …

Rates of meiotic recombination are widely variable both within and among species.
However, the functional significance of this variation remains largely unknown. Is the …

The rates of mutation, recombination, and transposition are core parameters in models of
evolution. They impact genetic diversity, responses to ongoing selection, and levels of …

Crossovers (COs) are formed during meiosis by the repair of programmed DNA double-
strand breaks (DSBs) and are required for the proper segregation of chromosomes. More …
