Evolution of recombination in eutherian mammals: insights into mechanisms that affect recombination rates and crossover interference.

Abstract excerpt

Recombination allows faithful chromosomal segregation during meiosis and contributes to the production of new heritable allelic variants that are essential for the maintenance of genetic diversity. Therefore, an appreciation of how this variation is created and maintained is of critical importance to our understanding of biodiversity and evolutionary change. Here, we analysed the recombination features from...
