Bjarni V. Halldorsson and Kari Stefansson, scientists at deCODE genetics, discuss the paper: Complete recombination map of the human-genome, published in Nature today. The paper continues 25 years of ...

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 ...

The map also identifies areas of DNA that are devoid of major reshuffling, likely to protect critical genetic functions or prevent chromosomal problems. This insight offers a clearer picture of why ...

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction.

Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers at deCODE genetics have developed a groundbreaking DNA map, revealing the intricate process of genetic recombination during reproduction. This map highlights areas ...
