Genetic architecture and lifetime dynamics of inbreeding depression in a wild mammal
Inbreeding depression is ubiquitous, but we still know little about its genetic architecture and
precise effects in wild populations. Here, we combine long-term life-history data with 417 K …

Micro germline-restricted chromosome in blue tits: evidence for meiotic functions
The germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) is likely present in all songbird species but
differs widely in size and gene content. This extra chromosome has been described as …

Genetic variation in recombination rate in the pig
Background Meiotic recombination results in the exchange of genetic material between
homologous chromosomes. Recombination rate varies between different parts of the …

[HTML][HTML] Variation and genetic control of individual recombination rates in Norwegian Red dairy cattle
Meiotic recombination is an important evolutionary mechanism that breaks up linkages
between loci and creates novel haplotypes for selection to act upon. Understanding the …

Distinct and interdependent functions of three RING proteins regulate recombination during mammalian meiosis
During meiosis, each pair of homologous chromosomes becomes connected by at least one
crossover, as required for accurate segregation, and adjacent crossovers are widely …

Genetic architecture of individual meiotic crossover rate and distribution in a large Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) breeding population
Meiotic recombination through chromosomal crossovers ensures proper segregation of
homologous chromosomes in meiosis, while also breaking down linkage disequilibrium and …

Recombination rates in pigs differ between breeds, sexes and individuals, and are associated with the RNF212, SYCP2, PRDM7, MEI1 and MSH4 loci
Background Recombination is a fundamental part of mammalian meiosis that leads to the
exchange of large segments of DNA between homologous chromosomes and is therefore …
