Homologous recombination (HR) is an important process that plays multiple crucial roles during meiosis, a type of cell cycle dedicated to sexual reproduction. During HR, homologous DNA molecules ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Copenhagen analyzed over 139,000 embryos and identified variants in key meiosis genes, such as SMC1B, that influence chromosomal ...

This Collection contains descriptions of sequence, genetic marker, variant, and recombination data relevant to genetics, population genetics and population genomics. Datasets for SNPs, allele ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...

Analyzing genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, researchers linked maternal DNA variants to increased risk of ...

Thinking of gene loss as an evolution force is a counterintuitive idea, for it is easier to think that only when we gain something -genes in this case- can we evolve. However the new work by these ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...
