New findings suggest an explanation for the century-old mystery of how chromosome recombination is regulated during sexual reproduction. In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries ...

Genetic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae underpins both the faithful repair of DNA damage and the generation of genetic diversity during meiosis. Central to this process is the repair of ...

Genetic recombination in Escherichia coli is a fundamental process that repairs DNA damage, maintains genome integrity and generates genetic diversity. Two principal pathways operate in concert: the ...

In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries two versions of each gene, which are referred to as alleles. Each parent passes on one allele to each offspring. As they are linked ...
