A high recombination rate in eusocial Hymenoptera: evidence from the common wasp Vespula vulgaris.

BMC genetics - 4 Nov 2011

Sirviö Anu, Johnston J Spencer, Wenseleers Tom, Pamilo Pekka

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High recombination rates have previously been detected in two groups of eusocial insects; honeybees and ants. In this study we estimate recombination rate in a eusocial wasp Vespula vulgaris that represents a third phylogenetic lineage within eusocial hymenopterans. RESULTS: A genetic linkage map of V. vulgaris based on 210 markers shows that the total map length is 2129 cM and the recombination rate...
