When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

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 ...

I'm currently enjoying slogging through the finer details of eukaryotic recombination but need some suggestions for decent learning material online. My prof isn't terribly impressive, and there's no ...

Genetic information is exchanged between maternal and paternal chromosomes through meiotic recombination. Sperm and eggs receive chromosomes with mixed genetic information, providing genetic diversity ...

Recombination is a key contributor to the genetic variation that occurs in SARS-CoV-2. By combining genetic material from diverse genomes, recombination can generate novel sets of mutations that have ...
