Unexpectedly low recombination rates and presence of hotspots in termite genomes

2024-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental evolutionary process that facilitates adaptation and the removal of deleterious genetic variation. Social Hymenoptera exhibit some of the highest recombination rates among metazoans, whereas high recombination rates have not been found among non-social species from this insect order. It is unknown whether elevated recombination rates are a ubiquitous feature of all social ins...
