Variation in Recombination Rate: Adaptive or Not?

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 May 2017

Ritz Kathryn R, Noor Mohamed A F, Singh Nadia D

Abstract excerpt

Rates of meiotic recombination are widely variable both within and among species. However, the functional significance of this variation remains largely unknown. Is the observed within-species variation in recombination rate adaptive? Recent work has revealed new insight into the scale and scope of population-level variation in recombination rate. These data indicate that the magnitude of within-population...
