the phenomenon known as incomplete linkage occurs when two genes show linkage with a recombination level greater than 0% and less than 50%. In incomplete linkage, all expected types of gametes are ...

Recombination events in many organisms are concentrated in highly localized areas termed 'hot spots'. Hot spots can be detected by statistical analysis of genetic variation, analysis of pedigrees ...

Recombination also alters genome structure by disrupting genetic linkage groups and, less often, by generating large-scale rearrangements between dispersed repetitive sequences. Meiotic recombination ...
