These results predict that the rate of synonymous substitution should be higher in regions oflowrecombination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Two studies have found increased differentiation in a subdivided population in regions oflowrecombination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, in regions showing permanentlylowrecombinationrate, recurrent selective events remove most of the variability and make it difficult to distinguish the two hypotheses.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is especially likely if the marker is in a region withlowrecombination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As a consequence, regions of high recombination should harbour more polymorphism than regions oflowrecombination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is also encouraging for comparing the evolution of genes in regions with high andlowrecombinationfrequencies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
According to the foregoing spectral properties, the amplitude of the low-frequency autooscillations will tend to increase together with the frequency of the allele forlowrecombination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For nearly any method, estimating very high or verylowrecombinationrates is difficult, because the data necessary to discriminate between multiple extreme values of r are usually lacking.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There were significantly fewer recombination events in the closer than the more distant region, supporting the above prediction, but showing that thelowrecombinationregion is very limited in size.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Hybrid recombinational portraits for six markers along the second chromosome also reflected the presence of a region with dramaticallylowrecombinationrate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Lowrecombinationreduces this ability because favourable mutations have a high probability of occurring in bad genomes, from which they can be effectively freed only by high recombination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Other things being equal, these effects should be most pronounced in genomic regions withlowrecombination, if loci involved in local adaptation are present in all regions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Third, the banding pattern in regions oflowrecombination(the base of the autosomes and the fourth chromosome) is more difficult to interpret, so fixations might be overlooked.
From theCambridge English Corpus
One technique is to compare levels of nucleotide diversity in regions oflowrecombination, where the models differ appreciably in their predictions.
From
Wikipedia
This process seems to be dominated by genetic drift resulting from small population size,lowrecombination rates, and high mutation rates, as opposed to selection for smaller genomes.
From
Wikipedia
Measured coalescent effective population sizes vary between genes in the same population, being low in genome areas oflowrecombinationand high in genome areas of high recombination.
