Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during ...
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 ...
Scientists reveal new insights into the hidden processes driving human genetic variation with the first complete human DNA ...
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 ...
Oribatid mites are tiny, soil-dwelling decomposers with over 10,000 species, some of which have defied the rules of evolution for millions of years. These mites, measuring between 150 and 1400 ...
Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to their unique genetic exchange mechanisms and the vast size ... They found ...
In collaboration with colleagues from international partner institutions, researchers at the University of Cologne have ...
New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...
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.
"Our computational tool has opened the door to a more refined understanding of genetic relationships in ecology and evolution ... difference in genetic recombination rates between the sexes ...
One of the key stages in the evolution of different sex chromosomes is a loss of recombination—the exchange of DNA during meiosis—that is both an important mechanism for maintaining genetic diversity ...
"Our computational tool has opened the door to a more refined understanding of genetic relationships in ecology and evolution. It accurately identifies ... identified a significant difference in ...
