Genetic recombination and molecular evolution.

Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology - 1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

Reduced rates of genetic recombination are often associated with reduced genetic variability and levels of adaptation. Several different evolutionary processes, collectively known as Hill-Robertson (HR) effects, have been proposed as causes of these correlates of recombination. Here, we use DNA sequence polymorphism and divergence data from the noncrossing over dot chromosome of Drosophila to discriminate between...
