Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

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

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 ...

Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material with each other. One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically ...

genetic recombination, gene regulation, gene interaction, the production and inheritance of genetic phenotypes, chromosomal mechanics, and the behavior of genes in populations.

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 ...

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 ...
