Recombination rate predicts inversion size in Diptera.
Genetics - 1 Sept 1999
Cáceres M, Barbadilla A, Ruiz A
Abstract excerpt
Most species of the Drosophila genus and other Diptera are polymorphic for paracentric inversions. A common observation is that successful inversions are of intermediate size. We test here the hypothesis that the selected property is the recombination length of inversions, not their physical length. If so, physical length of successful inversions should be negatively correlated with recombination rate across...
