Adaptive Control of the Meiotic Recombination Landscape by DNA Site-dependent Hotspots With Implications for Evolution
Meiosis is an essential component of the sexual life cycle in eukaryotes. The independent assortment of chromosomes in meiosis increases genetic diversity at the level of whole chromosomes and meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity within chromosomes. The resulting variability fuels evolu...
