A rigorous measure of genome-wide genetic shuffling that takes into account crossover positions and Mendel’s second law
2017-09-27
Abstract excerpt
Comparative studies in evolutionary genetics rely critically on evaluation of the total amount of genetic shuffling that occurs during gamete production. However, such studies have been ham-pered by the fact that there has been no direct measure of this quantity. Existing measures consider crossing over by simply counting the average number of crossovers per meiosis. This is qualitatively inadequate because the po...
