Meiotic recombination is a fundamental feature of sexually reproducing species. It is often
required for proper chromosome segregation and plays important role in adaptation and the …

Recombination is a central biological process with implications for many areas in the life
sciences. Yet we are only beginning to appreciate variation in the recombination rate along …

Abstract The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a multiparent panel of recombinant inbred (RI)
mouse strains derived from eight founder laboratory strains. RI panels are popular because …

Environmental stresses, such as drought, have negative effects on crop yield. Drought is a
stress whose impact tends to increase in some critical regions. However, the worldwide …

The tetraploid genome and clonal propagation of the cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum
L.), dictate a slow, non-accumulative breeding mode of the most important tuber crop …

While recombination is widely recognized to be a key modulator of numerous evolutionary
phenomena, we have a poor understanding of how recombination rate itself varies and …

Abstract Background Structural variants (SVs) significantly drive genome diversity and
environmental adaptation for diverse species. Unlike the prevalent small SVs (< kilobase …

Meiotic recombination is a highly conserved process that has profound effects on genome
evolution. At a fine-scale, recombination rates can vary drastically across genomes, often …

T helper 17 (TH17) cells located at the Peyer's patch (PP) inductive site and at the lamina
propria effector site of the intestinal immune system are responsive to both pathogenic and …

The majority of gene loci that have been associated with type 2 diabetes play a role in
pancreatic islet function. To evaluate the role of islet gene expression in the etiology of …
