The proteins encoded by these genes are thought to participate in the biochemical steps that lead to meiotic recombination. |
He simply watched peas to learn how their natural system of genetic recombination worked. |
Yeast has been used for many years to study DNA recombination, although not in this context. |
This is particularly so for sheltered chromosomes without recombination such as the Y chromosome in mammals. |
However, intense male recombination hotspots should still increase average recombination rates. |
If that changes with a mutation or a recombination or reassortment of one virus to the other, that could change everything. |
