When the weather turns cold, plants do more than slow their growth. Deep inside their reproductive cells, the very machinery ...

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 ...

Chromosomal inversions are structural variations that play a significant role in suppressing genetic recombination, thereby fixing favorable allelic combinations. These inversions are crucial for ...

However, one plant — a South American beak-sedge called Rhynchospora tenuis — seems to represent a striking exception. Previous studies have reported that R. tenuis lacks crossover during male meiosis ...

In January 2022, around the time that the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 started spreading rapidly, a team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) led by Shashank Tripathi, Assistant ...

Sexual reproduction usually reshuffles genetic information, creating offspring that differ from their parents. But one small ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...
