Aberrant segregation was first clearly noted in the 1950s in genetic studies of certain fungi that allow direct examination of their four haploid products of meiosis. Normally in these fungi, a ...

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 ...

While this shuffling, known as recombination, is essential for genetic diversity, errors in the process can lead to serious reproductive issues. These failures can result in genetic errors that ...

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 ...
