Mutation rate analysis via parent-progeny sequencing of the perennial peach. II. No evidence for recombination-associated mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation rates and recombination rates vary between species and between regions within a genome. What are the determinants of these forms of variation? Prior evidence has suggested that the recombination might be mutagenic with an excess of new mutations in the vicinity of recombination break points. As it is conjectured that domesticated taxa have higher recombination rates than wild ones, we expect domesticated...
