Meiotic recombination: a mechanism for tracking and eliminating mutations?

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 May 1996

McKee B D

Abstract excerpt

The function of meiotic recombination has remained controversial, despite recent inroads into mechanisms. Ideas concerning a possible role of recombination in the elimination or efficient incorporation of mutations have been backed by theoretical studies but have lacked empirical support. Recent investigations into the basis for local variations in recombination frequency in yeast have uncovered a strong...
