Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding recombination rates is crucial in evolutionary biology, as recombination shapes genetic diversity, natural selection, and adaptation. We investigated recombination rate variation in Chironomus riparius across different latitudes, seasons, and experimental treatments using Pool-seq data from five studies and the ReLERNN neural network-based method. We examined its relationship with...
