New findings suggest an explanation for the century-old mystery of how chromosome recombination is regulated during sexual reproduction. In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries ...

When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries two versions of each gene, which are referred to as alleles. Each parent passes on one allele to each offspring. As they are linked ...
