How does DNA recombination work? It occurs frequently in many different cell types, and it has important implications for genomic integrity, evolution, and human disease. In the alternate pathway ...

Scientists reveal new insights into the hidden processes driving human genetic variation with the first complete human DNA ...

Mixing two genomes through sex and genetic recombination tends ... The reason that the recombination load is a problem for the evolution of sex is better appreciated by looking at evolution ...

However, new findings from Konstantinidis and his team suggest otherwise, positing that bacteria not only form species but also maintain cohesion within these species through mechanisms that closely ...

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

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction.

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers from the Max Planck ...

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers have now developed a transformative approach that identifies stretches of DNA that two ...

The offspring may lose some of the genetic traits that made each parent ... The sexual topminnows could devise new defenses faster by recombination than the asexually producing clones.

And for biologists specifically studying avian evolution ... This strange behavior involves a genetic process known as “recombination,” where an organism combines inherited genes from a ...
