Modeling interference in genetic recombination.
In analyzing genetic linkage data it is common to assume that the locations of crossovers along a chromosome follow a Poisson process, whereas it has long been known that this assumption does not fit the data. In many organisms it appears that the presence of a crossover inhibits the formation of another nearby, a phenomenon known as "interference." We discuss several point process models for r...
متن کاملGenetic recombination in Micromonospora.
Biochemical mutants were obtained from Micromonospora chalcea, M. purpurea, and M. echinospora by using ultraviolet radiation or nitrosoguanidine. Crosses carried out between complementary nutritional mutants of the same species showed positive genetic interaction. Data are reported which indicate that the interaction between the crossed strains is due to genetic recombination. No evidence for ...
متن کاملGenetic recombination in plants.
Meiotic recombination generates novel allelic arrays on chromosomes. Recent experiments have revealed an extraordinarily nonrandom distribution of recombination breakpoints along the lengths of plant chromosomes; for example, recombination breakpoints often resolve within genic sequences, and thereby generate novel alleles. The mechanism by which recombination breakpoints are determined is an a...
متن کاملGenetic recombination in mycobacteria.
Evidence for genetic recombination between Mycobacterium smegmatis strain Rabinowitchi (Rab) and strain Jucho or PM5 is presented. Backcrosses of recombinants by either parental strain indicated four different types of mating behavior, suggesting that the mycobacterial compatibilities are controlled by at least two different factors. No sex factor that transfers at a high frequency or that is s...
متن کاملGenetic interference and recombination in phage T4: the role of heterozygotes.
IGH negative interference over short spans of the genetic structure of phage HT4 was first observed by CHASE and DOERMANN (1958). To explain their observations these authors proposed the existence of switch areas located at random over a fractional length of the genetic structure and over which recombination has a higher probability of occurring than in equivalent regions with no switch area. T...
