Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...
Skoltech's evolutionary biologists discovered recombination in bdelloid rotifers, microscopic freshwater invertebrates, which have long been regarded as 'an evolutionary scandal' due to their presumed ...
The recombination between parental chromosomes, a characteristic of sexual reproduction, plays a crucial role in evolution. In mammals, a protein called PRDM9 is essential for this process. In a paper ...
