Abstract excerpt
For the formation of recombinants involving closely linked markers, two distinct processes play a role. The recombinational interaction between homologous DNA molecules results in the presence of heteroduplex DNA joining the parental components of the recombinant. The presence of markers distinguishing the parents in the region of heteroduplex DNA can result in base pair mismatches. The post recombination repair...
