Heat and cold reshape fertility in reptiles, from scrambled sperm to sex reversal, with lessons for evolution under climate ...

While this shuffling, known as recombination, is essential for genetic diversity, errors in the process can lead to serious reproductive issues.

Biodiversity is disappearing at an alarming rate and is driven by human activity: contamination, greenhouse gases and extreme temperatures. But how exactly do these factors affect the reproduction and ...

Advances in genetic sequencing and analysis techniques have revealed the many changes that can happen in the human genome throughout a lifetime. Now reporting in Cell, researchers have also found that ...

Two studies reveal that extreme temperatures affect reptilian reproduction, with one species adapting to climate change and ...

Recent studies have generated complete recombination maps and have performed detailed functional analyses of gene clusters that regulate developmental programmes in both invertebrates and vertebrates.

We then discuss proximate and ultimate processes governing recombination rate variation and consider how these influence evolutionary processes. Genome-wide recombination rates (cM/Mb) can vary more ...

The new phenomenon involves intragenomic rearrangements in which segments of various lengths of the untranslated region at the proximal 5’ end of the virus, in particular the 5’-leader ...

What are hot spots? How do hot spots in humans differ from those in chimpanzees? What puzzling feature correlates with fertility in women? What is the biggest challenge in population genetics today?

Meiotic recombination is a process during the cell division that occurs to produce gametes (sperm and egg) that directs how chromosomes pair up and generate crossovers during reproduction in order to ...

Auger recombination is a nonradiative multicarrier process whereby the exciton recombination energy is not converted into a photon but instead transferred to a third charge.
