Abstract excerpt
For over a century, scientists have known that meiotic recombination rates can vary considerably among individuals, and that environmental conditions can modify recombination rates relative to the background. A variety of external and intrinsic factors such as temperature, age, sex and starvation can elicit 'plastic' responses in recombination rate. The influence of recombination rate plasticity on genetic...
